German Cucumber Salad

Ingredients

  • 2 English / telegraph cucumbers (ie. long cucumbers. Sub 4 x Lebanese cucumbers, Note 1)
  • 1/2 cup sour cream (sub plain, thick yogurt)
  • 1 tbsp white vinegar (plain distilled vinegar)
  • 1 tsp white sugar
  • 1 tbsp fresh dill, finely chopped
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • Black pepper

Steps

  1. Peel cucumbers and finely slice into 2mm / 0.2" slices using a mandoline (or by hand and show off your knife skills!)
  2. Mix dressing ingredients in a small bowl.
  3. Toss cucumbers with dressing, then set aside for at least 4 hours or even overnight. The cucumbers will soften and leach juice which will thin the dressing to the right consistency.
  4. Serving: Toss well then transfer to bowl for serving. Serve chilled for the most refreshing flavour!
