Notes

  • use any cucumber of choice. we do love English cucumbers for this recipe.
  • sour cream: this can be substituted with Greek yogurt or any dairy-free plain yogurt for a vegan option.
  • you may use either garlic powder or garlic cloves.
  • fresh dill is preferred but if you can't find any use dried dill.
  • avocado oil will work well in place of olive oil
  • You can make this ahead and store the dressing separately and just mix it when ready to serve.
  • store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • do not freeze.
