german cucumber salad

This is a recipe for a refreshing German Cucumber Salad. Called Gurkensalat, it&#039;s a staple side salad you&#039;ll find versions of in every household in Germany. It&#039;s particularly favoured during the warmer weather for its cooling effects, as well as alongside rich mains such as German Pork Knuckle.It will go with virtually any European or Western dish, as it has a clean, neutral flavour.The dressing is very thick at first, but it naturally becomes diluted with the cucumber juices so you end up with a thinner, white dressing. This makes this Cucumber Salad refreshing rather than cloying. Don&#039;t skip the dill, it really makes it!

German Cucumber Salad

English / telegraph cucumbers ((ie. long cucumbers. Sub 4 x Lebanese cucumbers, Note 1))

sour cream ((sub plain, thick yogurt))

tbsp white vinegar ((plain distilled vinegar))

tsp white sugar

dill (, finely chopped)

tsp salt

Black pepper

Peel cucumbers and finely slice into 2mm / 0.2&quot; slices using a mandoline (or by hand and show off your knife skills!)

Mix dressing ingredients in a small bowl.

Toss cucumbers with dressing, then set aside for at least 4 hours or even overnight. The cucumbers will soften and leach juice which will thin the dressing to the right consistency.

Serving: Toss well then transfer to bowl for serving. Serve chilled for the most refreshing flavour!

German Cucumber Salad is a refreshing summer salad made with simple ingredients that are a staple in most kitchens! This recipe is easy to make, budget-friendly, and perfect for a potluck, family dinner, or summer cookout.
