- 1 small shallot (small diced)
- 150 g Greek yogurt
- 100 g sour cream

- ¾ tsp salt
- ⅛ tsp white pepper
- 1/2 tsp powdered sugar (or use ¼ teaspoon of granulated sugar, honey.)
Directions
- 1. Optionally peel the cucumbers (if skin is too thick or if the skin is bitter) and slice the cucumbers paper-thin using the thinnest setting on a mandolin slicer. Slice directly into a salad bowl.Use protective gloves for extra safety!
- 2. Add the sliced shallot, Greek yogurt, sour cream, heavy cream, white wine vinegar, chopped dill, salt, white pepper, and powdered sugar. Stir to combine.
- 3. Add dressing to the salad bowl and stir to evenly coat the cucumber slices.
