Steps:

Quarter the cucumber pieces and place in a mixing bowl. Add the onions and season with salt. Mix to combine as you prepare the rest of the salad. This will start to draw out moisture, which will help thin out the dressing.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the sour cream, vinegar, olive oil, hot sauce and garlic. Add the dill and season with salt and pepper. Pour over the cucumbers and onions and mix to combine. Let sit in the refrigerator for 2 hours. Serve!

Ingredients

2 cucumbers, cut into 2-inch-long pieces
1 small red onion, sliced
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
1/2 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons hot sauce
1 clove garlic, grated or minced
1/3 cup finely chopped fresh dill

SPICY CUCUMBERS WITH YOGURT, LEMON AND HERBS

This recipe brings together two contrasting components to create a bright summer dish. A simple yogurt sauce is dressed up with herbs and zest, then topped with cucumbers that have marinated in a spicy oil. Coriander, cumin and red-pepper flakes bloom in a neutral oil, and the cucumbers take on the flavors as they sit. For the yogurt, a variety of garden fresh herbs work well, but dill and mint are crucial. Both the yogurt and the cucumbers can be prepared up to a day in advance and kept refrigerated until serving. When you're ready, spread the yogurt sauce in a wide bowl or plate. Spoon the cucumbers on top evenly so each each bite gets a little yogurt and a little cucumber: One will temper the spiciness of the other. Save a handful of the herbs for a fresh garnish.

Spicy Cucumbers With Yogurt, Lemon and Herbs image

Steps:

Toss the cucumber pieces with 1 teaspoon salt and set in a colander in the sink to drain.
In a small pot, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the coriander and cumin, and toast until fragrant, stirring to avoid scorching, about 1 minute. Remove oil from heat, add red-pepper flakes and allow to cool.
In a medium bowl, toss the salted cucumber pieces with the scallions, spiced oil and apple cider vinegar. Allow to marinate in the refrigerator for 15 minutes or overnight while you prepare the yogurt.
In a small bowl, combine the yogurt, half of the herbs (mint, dill and parsley), zest and juice of the lemon and the olive oil. Stir to incorporate, and season to taste with salt and pepper.
Spread the yogurt mixture on a plate or the bottom of a shallow bowl. Using a slotted spoon to drain the cucumbers and scallions of excess liquid, evenly place the cucumbers and scallions on top of the yogurt. Finish with the remaining chopped herbs and pine nuts (if using), and serve immediately.
