German Cucumber Dill Salad Gurkensalat Recipes

GERMAN CUCUMBER DILL SALAD [GURKENSALAT]

Steps:

• Rinse your cucumber well and peel. I semi peel mine to add a border effect to my slices when cut.
• Use a vegetable slicer to cut thin slices of cucumber 9the way it's done in Germany) or cut into thicker slices with a knife (the way I like it).
• Keep the cucumber slices in a bowl for a few minutes. Excess water will come out, which you can discard.
• Mix your rinsed fresh chopped dill into the thick creamy sour cream with the salt and black pepper to create the dressing
• Pour the dressing over the cucumber and mix.
• Serve your cucumber dill sour cream salad cooled as a summer side dish with grilled meat or for lunch with schnitzel or steak.
