Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 large cucumbers
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 2 Tbsp chopped dill or chives
  • 1 Tbsp oil
  • 2 Tbsp white wine vinegar. (You could also substitute with this Homemade Chive Blossom Vinegar!)
  • 1 Tbsp water

Instruction

  • Wash and slice the cucumber very thinly, using either a mandolin slicer, or a chefs knife.
  • Mix 3/4 tsp of salt in with the cucumber slices, to draw out the water.
  • Let the cucumber slices sit for 5 to 10 minutes as you mix the remaining ingredients to create the dressing.
  • Strain the salty cucmber water from the slices, and mix the sliced cucumbers into the dressing.
  • Season with a little white pepper, and some more herbs if you prefer a stronger dill flavor!
  • Chill the German Cucumber salad for up to 2 days in the fridge. After this the cucumber starts to break down and go mushy, so make small batches!
