Ingredients
  

Ingredients by volume:

  • 3 cucumber
  • .6 oz fresh dill
  • 8 oz sour cream
  • 3 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • .5 tsp almond extract
  • .5 tsp salt

Ingredients by weight:

  • 750 g cucumber
  • 20 g fresh dill
  • 225 g sour cream
  • 50 g apple cider vinegar
  • 3 g almond extract
  • 3 g salt

Instructions
 

Day before: 15-20 minutes

  • Peel the cucumbers, then halve or quarter them lengthwise and slice thinly - I used the 2mm slicing blade on my food processor. Cover the slices with cold water and refrigerate overnight - about 15-20 minutes with a food processor.

Day of: 20-35 minutes

  • Separate the dill leaves from the dill stem, and mince the leaves. This should produce approximately 1/4 cup minced dill.
  • Whisk together the dressing: sour cream, dill, apple cider vinegar, almond extract, and salt.
  • Drain the cucumbers and, in batches, squeeze with paper towels or run through a salad spinner to remove excess water. Using a salad spinner is both faster and more effective.
  • Add cucumbers to the dressing, mixing until they are coated.
