Ingredients:

• 1 large cucumber, cut into 1/8-inch
• 3/4 cup thinly sliced sweet onion
• 1 tsp kosher salt, divided
• 1/3 cup sour cream
• 1 tbsp rice vinegar
• 1 tbsp chopped fresh dill, plus more for garnish
• 2 tsp chopped fresh chives, plus more for garnish
• 1/4 tsp black pepper

Directions:

Step 1

To start, thinly slice your cucumber using a mandolin for uniform size, then cut your sweet onion thinly worth 3/4 cup. Add the sliced cucumber and sweet onion to a colander, add a little bit of salt, toss, and let them sit for one hour. (Toss in between to draw as much water as you can.) After this, pat them dry with a paper towel.
