GERMAN CUCUMBER SALAD

German Cucumber Salad image

This is a recipe for a refreshing German Cucumber Salad. Called Gurkensalat, it's a staple side salad you'll find versions of in every household in Germany. It'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't skip the dill, it really makes it!

Ingredients

2 English / telegraph cucumbers ((ie. long cucumbers. Sub 4 x Lebanese cucumbers, Note 1))
1/2 cup sour cream ((sub plain, thick yogurt))
1 tbsp white vinegar ((plain distilled vinegar))
1 tsp white sugar
1 tbsp fresh dill (, finely chopped)
1/2 tsp salt
Black pepper

Steps:

Peel cucumbers and finely slice into 2mm / 0.2" 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!

BAVARIAN CUCUMBER SALAD

Bavarian Cucumber Salad image

This salad is so easy to throw together and can be made a few hours ahead of time. When my German aunt serves it, she usually does two or three other traditional salads and puts together a little salad plate for each guest as a starter to the meal.

GURKENSALAT (GERMAN CUCUMBER SALAD)

Gurkensalat (German Cucumber Salad) image

A traditional German favorite that I have loved since I was a child. This recipe is quick, easy, and delicious. Substitute cider vinegar for a different flavor. I prefer to leave the skins on the cucumbers for more texture and flavor, but they can also be peeled prior to slicing if desired. Flavor is best when marinated for several hours before serving.
