Cut cucumbers into thin, even rounds for better dressing absorption and crispness.

Rinse, pat dry, and chop the dill finely for even distribution.

In a small bowl, whisk together sour cream or yogurt, lemon juice or vinegar, and minced garlic. Season with salt and pepper.

Combine cucumbers and dill in a large bowl. Pour dressing over and toss gently.

Chill in the refrigerator for 10 to 15 minutes to let flavors meld.
