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.

POLISH CUCUMBER AND SOUR CREAM SALAD

Polish Cucumber and Sour Cream Salad image

This is a traditional polish side salad. Its usually served with chicken or pork escalopes but its delicious served with gulash or any other meat dish. Also it makes a cooling and refreshing end to any spicy dish. For a low fat version replace the sour cream with fat free greek yoghurt and you will get an equally delicious salad.

During the summer we use cucumbers from our garden for that wonderfully fresh, crunchy taste.

Ingredients

2 large cucumbers
1 medium to large white onion or red onion
1/4 cup white vinegar or apple cider vinegar
2 tsps salt(i use less)
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp dill,dried or you can use fresh(i used dried,its what was on hand)
3 tbsp sour cream
2 tsps mayonnaise
1 tbsp ranch dressing

Steps:

1. Have a medium to large bowl set out. wash the cucumbers and then pat dry.

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: For the best flavor, use fresh, firm cucumbers with thin skins. English cucumbers are a good choice, as they are less bitter than other varieties.
Slice the cucumbers thinly: This will help them absorb the dressing more easily and make them more tender.
Use a good quality sour cream: Fresh, full-fat sour cream will give your salad the best flavor. Avoid using low-fat or non-fat sour cream, as they will make the salad watery and bland.
Add some herbs and spices: Fresh dill, chives, or parsley are all great additions to sour cream cucumber salad. You can also add a pinch of salt, pepper, or garlic powder for extra flavor.
Serve the salad chilled: Sour cream cucumber salad is best served cold. You can make it ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
