Creamy German Cucumber Salad
Creamy German Cucumber Salad tastes delicious as a side dish to any meal... or add it to a German Salad plate for more variety.
Ingredients
- 1 large Salad Cucumber
- ½ cup Sour Cream
- 3 Tablespoons Vegetable Oil
- 1 Tablespoon White Wine Vinegar
- 1 Tablespoon Sugar add half if you want it less sweet
- ½ Teaspoon Salt
- ½ Teaspoon Pepper
- 1 Tablespoon chopped Dill
- 1 Tablespoon chopped Chives optional
Instructions
- Peel and thinly slice Cucumber. To keep the salad from getting too wet, lay the cucumber slices on a paper towel while you prepare the dressing. (Up to 30 minutes, if you want. If you are less sensitive about wet cucumbers, transfer them to a bowl whenever you want to).
- In a small bowl, combine the Sour Cream, Oil, Vinegar, Sugar, Salt, and Pepper. Stir until completely combined and the sugar/salt have dissolved (when you no longer feel the grains against the bowl with your spoon).
- Place the Cucumbers in a medium mixing bowl or serving bowl. Add half of the herbs. Just before serving, add the dressing. Toss to completely coat. Sprinkle with the remaining herbs
- Serve
Notes
The longer the creamy cucumber salad is refrigerated, the runnier it gets. You can carefully pour off the excess liquid... then taste it and make any corrections (add more sour cream or seasoning).
