I can't think of a family event where these haven't appeared on the table. My Swedish grandmother made these for her family and the tradition continues - it was originally made with without dill - as it's written here - but feel free to add fresh dill - it's yummy both ways!

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.
