Oma's German Cucumber Salad ❤️

➤ by Oma Gerhild Fulson

Yum

My German cucumber salad, aka Gurkensalad, is so delightfully refreshing, especially in the summer. It's a perfect side dish for almost any meal. This version (unlike my Mutti's) has no sour cream or yogurt, so it's perfect for a buffet table or to take along for picnics.

• 2 cucumbers, peeled and thinly sliced 
  
• 4 Tbsp white vinegar
• 4 Tbsp water
• 1 - 2 Tbsp granulated sugar

Instructions:

• Put thinly sliced cucumbers into serving bowl.
  
• In separate bowl, mix together vinegar, water, sugar, and salt. Pour over cucumbers.
• Sprinkle with dill and stir. Season with additional salt and/or sugar if needed.

Hints:

• Try using different types of vinegar ... white wine vinegar, cider vinegar ... or try your favorite.
• If you have very tender English cucumbers, they do not have to be peeled.
• Add some thinly sliced onions.

• If your cucumber has a large center seeds, you can always remove them. Do this by cutting your cucumber lenthwise and then scrape a spoon down the center to remove the seeds
