HOW LONG CAN I STORE THIS SALAD
This salad can be kept in a covered container in the fridge for 3-4 days.
After several days though the cucumbers start to release extra liquid. So you can freshen the salad up a bit by draining the liquid and adding a little extra sour cream.
It's actually best if the flavors have time to blend several hours after preparing the salad and eaten the day of.

You can use plain greek yogurt in place of sour cream or do half of each....
Dried dill can be used in place of fresh although I highly recommend using fresh.
