My Mom ( Ingrid) was from Germany and she would make this salad for us growing up. Crunchy, creamy and satisfying this German Cucumber Salad is simple to make and takes only a few ingredients. --- Here is Ingrid's OTHER Cucumber Recipe she made for us with vinegar and dill --

Kitchen Dads Cooking Recipes

Recipe:
INGREDIENTS
2-3 cucumbers (depending on size), peeled and thinly sliced
1/2 onion, thinly sliced or chopped ( use 1/2 onion if large, whole onion if medium size)
2-3 tablespoons white vinegar
2 tablespoon white sugar
Salt to taste
1/2 - 1 cup sour cream (depends on how much you like, start with 1/2 add more if you want)
2 tablespoons dill, chopped ( adjust depending on how much dill you like)

NOTE: As with all recipes, you need to "make this your own." Sometimes I want more creamy, sometimes more bitter, sometimes with lots more dill. This recipe is just a starting point. You need to make it several times, adjust the proportions and make it the way you like it.

METHOD
Peel cucumbers and then slice thinly.
Hint: use a mandolin slicer for consistent size.
Salt cucumbers to draw out moisture, place in colander let moisture drain, 15 min
Place sliced cucumber and onion in a bowl
Add vinegar and sugar
Add salt to taste, sour cream and dill.
Mix well
Enjoy!
