Description
A refreshing German Cucumber Salad that is easy to make and perfect for summer gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large cucumber, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried dill)
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced (optional)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the sliced cucumber and salt. Toss to coat and let it sit for about 15 minutes to draw out excess moisture.
- After 15 minutes, drain the cucumbers and gently pat them dry with paper towels.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the sour cream, white vinegar, dill, sugar, and black pepper until smooth.
- Add the drained cucumbers and red onion (if using) to the dressing. Toss until the cucumbers are well coated.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Notes
- For a lighter version, substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream.
- Add cherry tomatoes or bell peppers for extra color and crunch.
