Ingredients:

1/2 cup sour cream
1 Tb sugar
1 Tb lemon juice
1 tsp salt
dash pepper
2 large cucumbers, seeded & sliced (or the equivalent small cucumbers with seeds)
1/2 a red onion, sliced thin
1+ Tb sesame seeds (or Everything Bagel seasoning)

Directions:

1. Combine sour cream, sugar, lemon juice, salt and pepper in bowl; stir to mix.
2. Slice cucumbers and onion and place in serving bowl.
3. Pour creamy mixture over cucumbers. (optional-chill)
4. Before serving, sprinkle sesame seeds on top. Or Everything Bagel seasoning.

I usually make a double recipe of the cream, so there’s plenty. You can always add more cucumber slices. The mixture will get more runny when the water in the cucumbers sits awhile. If you chill before serving, the cucumbers will soften.

We love this with a summer meal of grilled meat and fresh corn on the cob.
