Answer 2

I don't know if it is a German recipe or not, but I know my Russian roomate always makes a cucumber salad by: Peeling 3 large cucumbers and dicing 1 tbsp. of white vinegar 1 tsp salt 1 tsp white pepper 1 cup sour cream *you can also peel 6-8 radishes and dices small for vitamins since cucumbers do not have a whole lot of vitamins--radishes also make the salad larger and last longer during parties. MIX everything together garnish each serving with Tbsp of chives DELICIOUS!!

Answer 3

everyone that answered with a recipe using vinegar and sugar have the right idea. You might also want to add in some black sesame seeds and rock salt (sesame salt). It adds a twist with a bit more texture.

INGREDIENTS
2 cucumbers, peeled and thinly sliced
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
1 1/2 cups water
1/2 cup rice wine vinegar
1 teaspoon white sugar
1/4 teaspoon sesame salt
DIRECTIONS
Combine cucumbers and red onion in a salad bowl.
In a small bowl, stir together water, rice wine vinegar, sugar, and seasoned salt. Pour over vegetables. Chill for 1 hour. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

When I make a cucumber salad, I always peel the cucumber first, cut the cucumber in half and then take a grapefruit spoon with serrated point and scrape out all the seeds from both halves. Throw the seeds into the garbage. Then cut up the cucumber into bite size chunks. Add a few chopped onions and capers. I like the Zesty Italian dressing.

Add enough Italian dressing to cover (more or less to desired taste).

Answer 7

My husband's grandmother was from Maysville Ky and often made cucumber salad. My husband still likes it:

To make it, we use:
baby cucmbers
red onion sliced thin
vinegar
sugar
and water

The exact amounts are to taste. i start with about a 1:0.5 ratio of water to vinegar and maybe add 1-2 tablespoons of sugar , mix in about a 1 qrt conatiner (cool-whip size) of sliced veggies. then i just add more vinegar or sugar till it is sweet-tart enough.... adding a little more water if i overdo the vinegar.

i just make sure the veggies aren't drowning in the water mix - the vinegar solution will extract more water from the veggies as it sits

Answer 8

I make one that sounds similar to what you are craving......Take & slice cucumbers thin, then slice a medium onion ( I like the videla - sweeter) & layer in bowl. Pour over a mixture of white vinegar, sugar & mustard seed. Chill in fridge for a couple of hours before serving - even better if you let it marinate overnight........Yummy!!

Answer 10

I love mayonnaise. And sugar. I have looked for this recipe for years. Is 4 sliced cucumbers, 2 tablespoons sugar, 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp of lemon juice and 1/2 cup mayo. Stir and chill well. I add 1/2 tsp dried dill weed. Only if you like. Everyone loves. And finely diced onions to the side for the onion lovers. This is a classic for everyone. I know of no one who hasn't liked it.
