Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

3 medium cucumbers (peeled and thinly sliced into rounds (if the cucumbers aren't waxed you can leave the peels on for more color))
1/3 cup chopped fresh dill
2 tablespoons chopped chives (optional - I don't always include these)
1 tablespoon dried minced onion (more concentrated flavor than fresh onion)
3 tablespoons neutral-tasting oil
3 tablespoons white vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

Place the sliced cucumbers in a bowl and toss with a heaping teaspoon of salt. Let sit for about 30 minutes then drain thoroughly. In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining ingredients. Pour over the cucumbers and stir to combine. Cover and chill for at least 2 hours before serving, stirring it a couple of times. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve cold or at room temperature.

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.
