I love to serve this homemade Germany style cucumber salad with my Schnitzel and German Egg Noodles (Spatzel).  It’s light and cool. ..not to mention tasty.

GurkenSalat (German Cucumber Salad)

2 cucumbers sliced thin (I use my food processor).
1/8 tsp Pepper
1/4 tsp Salt
1 1/2 TBS  Sugar
1/2 TBS Cider Vinegar
1/2 C Sour Cream
1 TBS Parsley, fresh, minced

Toss cucumber slices with salt, pepper, sugar & vinegar and marinate for 20 minutes.

Drain & mix with sour cream and parsley.

Chill for 30 minutes to let flavor develop.

  1. Mmm, this is one of my favorite dishes! My grandma used to make it when I was little – but we called it by the Hungarian name of uborka salata.

    My great grandmother’s parents put her on a boat to the U.S. from Austria-Hungary at age 16, and she never saw them again. She was a fantastic cook. I always wish I had been able to spend more time with her to learn her stories and her recipes, but she was nearly 90 by the time I was born

      What a great family story. . . its amazing when you think about how different life was back then-I can’t even imagine leaving everything I ever knew like that. . . wow.

      Glad that the recipe has brought back some fond memories-and lucky it’s a really easy recipe too :)
