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!

Categories     Side Salad

Number Of Ingredients 7

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!

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.

GERMAN CUCUMBER SALAD RECIPE - (4.3/5)



German Cucumber Salad Recipe - (4.3/5) image

Provided by Gggoody

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 cup sour cream or plain yogurt
1 cucumber, sliced
1 medium to large tomato, sliced
2 slices onion (slice like you would for onion rings)
3 teaspoons lemon juice
1/2 to 3/4 teaspoons dill
Pinch of salt

Steps:

  • Peel and slice your cucumber, slice your tomato, and slice your onion. I like to slice, then quarter the onion because its easier to eat. In a bowl, combine dill and salt. Add sour cream or yogurt and lemon juice to taste. Mix well. Add onion, cucumber, and tomato to the mixture and stir until the veggies are coated with the dressing.

GERMAN CUCUMBER SALAD WITH SOUR CREAM



German Cucumber Salad with Sour Cream image

This is a very light, tasty salad, and not sweet like many cucumber salads. It's very refreshing with a tangy bite from the green onions. I used dried herbs, of course using less, and it was still very tasty. I got the recipe many years ago from a recipe board online, but do not remember the source. However, it was attributed to a man who made this for his guests at an inn he ran in Germany. I included slicing the vegetables in the approximate time.

  • Wash the cucumbers and peel, if desired (we usually don't peel the cucumbers when making the recipe). Thinly slice the cucumbers using a mandolin or the slicing side of a four-sided box grater. Add the cucumber slices to a bowl.
  • Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of salt over the cucumbers and let them sit for 20 minutes. This will remove excess moisture. After the 20 minutes, give the cucumber a squeeze to remove even more water. Be sure to drain any excess liquid from the bowl.
  • While you're waiting for the cucumber slices, wash, dry, and finely chop the dill. Make sure to remove the hard stems first. Also, peel and finely chop a small onion. Add both (dill and onion) to the cucumber bowl after the 20 minutes are up and you have drained the liquid.
  • Add the oil, vinegar, sour cream, sugar, and pepper to the bowl. Mix well. Add more salt (be careful here since you added quite a bit of salt earlier!) and/or pepper if desired. Serve and enjoy!
