This is a quick fresh salad folks, best mixed and served, no marinating required.
I chose to use this zester/peeler to make strips of zest for big flavor and pretty presentation.
German Cucumber Salad-adapted from Stumbling Upon Happiness
1/2 C sour cream
1 Tblsp fresh lemon juice
zest of 1/4 large lemon, reserve some for sprinkling on top
1/2 - 3/4 tsp dill-don't know if it calls for fresh or dried, I used 1/4 tsp dried, add more if desired
two 8"-ish cucumbers, sliced or chunked-can sub one large tomato
two slices of medium sized onion-yellow or red, around 1/8" thick to 1/4"(you know your crowd:@)
pinch of salt to taste
- Mix sour cream, lemon juice, half of the zest and dill. Gently stir in cukes and onion. Salt to taste and sprinkle reserved zest on top for color.
- This salad is best served once it's mixed together, it will get watery the longer it sits.
