GERMAN CUCUMBER SALAD WITH SOUR CREAM
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.

SOUR CREAM CUCUMBER SALAD
"ONE OF the staples of Ukrainian cooking is sour cream. This combination of sour cream and cucumbers makes a very tasty salad. During the summer we use cucumbers from our garden for that wonderfully fresh, crunchy taste. But store-bought cucumbers work almost as well, so we enjoy this dish year-around-it goes especially well with meat dishes."

SPICY SRIRACHA WINGS WITH CUCUMBER SOUR CREAM
Everyone knows that the best chicken wings have crisp skin and tender meat, but achieving that perfect balance can be a challenge. In this recipe, which is adapted from Taku, a Japanese restaurant in Brooklyn, the uncooked wings are brined overnight in a combination of yuzu juice and salt, then fried for a good 15 minutes. The result? Surprisingly crisp skin and juicy, flavorful meat. Once fried, they're tossed with a spicy sambal-Sriracha sauce, then served with a cooling cucumber-sour cream dip alongside.

Steps:
- Make the brine by combining the yuzu juice, 1/2 cup salt, sugar and 2 quarts water in a container large enough to hold the wings. Stir until the salt and sugar dissolve. Add the wings and refrigerate overnight. Rinse well and pat dry.
- In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the butter, sambal, Sriracha and vinegar. Simmer for a few minutes, stirring occasionally. Transfer to a blender and purée until smooth.
- Cut the cucumber crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick pieces. Sprinkle them lightly with salt and let them sit for 10 minutes. Pat dry with a towel. Grate the ginger over a towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out 2 tablespoons juice into a bowl. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt to the juice, then combine with the sour cream and cucumber. Season to taste.
- Pour 2 inches of oil in a 10-by-4-inch pot and place over high heat. When the oil reaches 375 degrees, fry the chicken wings in batches. Cook for about 15 minutes, or until nicely browned. Transfer wings to a bowl. Toss with hot sauce. Serve with cucumber cream.

Steps:
- 1. Have a medium to large bowl set out. wash the cucumbers and then pat dry.
- 2. slice the cucumbers into thin slices. slice white or red onion into rings or dice up and add to the cucumbers. add your salt,pepper and vinegar. Stir up well and chill 2 hours or overnight.
- 3. Take out the chilled cucumbers and onion mixture and drain off,extra fluid can make your salad runny. once drained, add back to your bowl.
- 4. Now add remaining ingredients and mix well. Chill until serving time. Great with Fish,Chicken,Beef or as a side dish. Low calorie too and always re-freshing! Enjoy.
Tips:
- Choose the right cucumbers. English or Persian cucumbers are best for this recipe because they have fewer seeds and a thinner skin. Avoid using regular cucumbers, as they can be bitter and have a tough skin.
- Slice the cucumbers thinly. This will help them absorb the flavors of the dressing better.
- Use a good quality sour cream. Full-fat sour cream will give the dressing a rich and creamy flavor. Avoid using low-fat or non-fat sour cream, as it will not be as flavorful.
- Add some fresh herbs. Dill, chives, and parsley are all good choices. The herbs will add a pop of color and flavor to the salad.
- Let the salad chill for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
Conclusion:
Cucumber sour cream salad is a refreshing and flavorful side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy salad, give this recipe a try.
