Part 4/6:
- Finely chop fresh dill to measure about three tablespoons. If fresh dill isn’t available, dried dill is an acceptable alternative that most delis utilize for consistency.
Creating the Dressing
In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, sugar, white vinegar, salt, and garlic. Mix these ingredients together thoroughly. For those who enjoy the flavor of dill, add it to the mixture at this point, adjusting quantity based on your preference.
Combining Ingredients
Once the cucumbers and onions are prepared, combine them with the dressing. This is where you might want to don some gloves, just like the professionals do at the deli, to mix everything together without making a mess. After combining, it’s important to let the salad chill in the refrigerator.
