Steps:
- Wash and - if desired - peel your cucumbers. Thinly slice your cucumbers with a mandolin or four-sided box grater.
- Place the cucumbers in a bowl, sprinkle 1 tbsp of salt on top, and put the bowl in the fridge for 1.5 hours.
- After taking the cucumbers back out of the fridge, drain the excess water and squeeze the cucumbers either with your hands or by pushing a small plate on top to remove and drain any additional liquid.
- Add the chopped hot banana pepper (optional), the crushed garlic, sugar, vinegar, sour cream, pepper, and paprika. Mix everything together in the bowl and add more spices or sour cream to taste.
- Refrigerate your cucumber salad for several hours (or overnight). You can add more pepper, paprika, and chopped chives to garnish before serving.

HUNGARIAN CUCUMBER SALAD
Great salad to make when you have a ton of cucumbers coming out of the garden. We make this year round but we are real cuke lovers in this family. Let it sit for a few days in the fridge and it's even better! Great make-ahead dish for BBQs and parties.

GURKENSALAT (GERMAN CUCUMBER SALAD)
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.

SOUR CREAM CUCUMBERS
We have a tradition at our house to serve this creamy cucumber salad with the other Hungarian specialties my mom learned to make from the women at church. It's especially good during the summer when the cucumbers are freshly picked from the garden. -Pamela Eaton, Monclova, Ohio

MODERNIZED HUNGARIAN CUCUMBER SALAD DRESSING
I've been reading an intriguing book lately titled "Culinaria Hungary", published in 1999 & authored by Aniko Gergely. It is much more a history of regional Hungarian cuisine & ingredients native to the regions than it is a cookbook, but does feature a few recipes considered part of classic & modern Hungarian cooking. 1 of the most startling & also the smallest recipe was a dressing for cucumber salad. This recipe is for the dressing, but I added 2 notes below the prep to describe how the dressing is used to make 2 types of the salad. *Enjoy* (Time does not include the soaking time or refrigeration time)

GRANDMA VARGA'S HUNGARIAN CUCUMBER SALAD (UBORKASALATA)
This is the best cucumber salad I have ever had. This is my grandmothers recipe, (she was from Nagyszentmiklos) and this is a perfect companion dish for chicken paprikas, although I could make a meal out of it. This will quickly become your favorite way to eat cucumbers!

Steps:
- Slice cucumbers very thinly, preferably using a mandolin.
- Take a colander, put in a small layer of cucumbers, then sprinkle with a small amount of the salt.
- Continue this method until all the salt and cucumbers are used up.
- Cover the cucumbers with a plate inside the colander, and put a very heavy weight on top.
- Make sure the colander is in a large bowl, because the cucumbers will lose alot of water.
- Let them sit for 1 hour.
- In the meantime, chop the dill and finely mince the garlic, put aside.
- After 1 hour, take a handful of cucumbers, and squeeze out as much juice as you can, and continue until they are all done.
- Rinse thoroughly with water, drain well.
- After the cucumbers are done, return to the colander, and weight down one more time for about 15 minutes.
- You do not have to squeeze out the juice again with your hands Combine all ingredients in a large bowl, except the paprika.
- After mixing thoroughly, put in a nice serving dish, and sprinkle with the paprika.
- Chill for at least 2 hours.
- Enjoy.
- Nutritional information shows a high amount of sodium, but the vast majority is pressed out by your hands. The main function of the kosher salt is to purge the moisture out of the cucumbers.
