   Prep Cucumber and Fennel

   Place the sliced cucumber in a sieve. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt and the sugar, then let it sit for 10 minutes. This step helps draw out excess water, keeping the cucumber crisp. After the cucumber has drained, add the thinly sliced fennel bulb to it.

   Dress the Salad

   In a medium bowl, whisk together the sour cream, a squeeze of lemon juice, 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar, and the chopped dill. Season with freshly ground black pepper. Pour the creamy dressing over the drained cucumber and fennel, then toss gently to coat everything evenly.
