Gurkensalat (German Cucumber Salad)

Gurkensalat (German Cucumber Salad)

Gurkensalat is a traditional German salad that I have loved since I was a child. This recipe is quick, easy, and delicious. I like to use unpeeled cucumbers for more texture and flavor, but you can peel them if desired. For maximum flavor, be sure to marinate for at least three hours if you can’t do the full eight.

Ingredients

  • 2 large cucumbers, sliced thin
  • ½ medium onion, sliced thin (Optional)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons white sugar
  • 2 tablespoons white vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon dried dill
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • ¼ teaspoon paprika, or to taste

Directions

Step 1
Spread cucumber and onion slices onto a large platter; season with salt on both sides. Let rest for 30 minutes, then drain in a colander and squeeze to remove excess moisture. Blot dry with paper towels.

Step 2
Stir sour cream, sugar, vinegar, dill, and parsley together in a large bowl. Gently fold in cucumber and onion slices until coated. Cover and refrigerate, 8 hours to overnight.

Step 3
Garnish with paprika to serve.

Tips

You can change up the flavor by using cider vinegar instead of white vinegar.
