Gurken Salat {German Cucumber Salad}

Author: All Recipes.com

Ingredients

  • 6 cucumbers thinly sliced
  • 1 onion thinly sliced
  • 1 TBS salt
  • 1 cup sour cream plus a little extra
  • 4 tablespoons white sugar
  • 4 tablespoons white vinegar
  • 2 teaspoon dried dill
  • 2 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 2 teaspoon paprika

Instructions

  • Combine the cucumbers and the onion. Place on a rack and salt.
  • Let sit for at least 30 minutes. Then press out the water.
  • Mix the sour cream, sugar, vinegar, and spices.
  • Pour over cucumbers and onions and mix thoroughly.
  • {I thought my salad looked a little too pink with only one cup of sour cream so I added a couple extra tablespoons. The taste was fine, but I didn't want a pink salad... and it tasted better with a bit more sour cream. But you do what you want!}
  • Cool overnight in the fridge.
  • Enjoy!
