For an extra burst of flavor, consider adding a handful of halved grape or cherry tomatoes. Adjust the amount of sugar to your liking, depending on the sweetness of your cucumbers. Fresh dill can be used in place of dried dill for a more vibrant flavor. Use 3 tablespoons of chopped fresh dill. For a lighter version, use light sour cream and mayonnaise. This salad is best served chilled. It can be made a day ahead of time, allowing the flavors to develop even further.
