Report

Gurkensalat is a simple cucumber salad with dill that is light and refreshing. This German Cucumber Salad is just creamy enough to complement the crisp summer cucumbers without being overly heavy.Yield: roughly 3 c of cucumber salad

Spoon the dressing over the cucumbers and onions. Mix gently.
Serve immediately.

Notes

*If you would like to prepare your cucumber salad ahead of time make it up to this point and refrigerate the dressing separate from the chopped veggies. This will let the flavors of the dressing come together without letting the salad start to get watery. Mix the salad just before serving.
If you prefer a non-creamy version of this German cucumber salad omit the sour cream, increase the vinegar to ¼ c, and add 1 Tbsp of some neutral flavored oil (like canola or lite tasting olive oil). Enjoy!
