Author Notes
I love a good refreshing summer salad that requires minimal prep, but packs serious flavor. I like to serve this brightly flavored dish alongside a nice light fish or eat it by itself for lunch or a snack! If you don't like sour cream, it can easily be replaced with Greek yogurt. Once you make this dill sauce you will be in love. I use it on all sorts of stuff, but it definitely goes the best with cucumbers and onions. —Brussels Sprouts for Breakfast
