Old-world Cucumber Salad Recipe


Old-world Cucumber Salad Recipe
My mom just called it "pickled cucumber salad". Grandma says it's German, Dad says its Polish, my Husband says it's Swedish. I just call it Old-World...

Ingredients
  • 5-6 large cucumbers, halved and thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup vinegar
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 small onion, finely sliced, or minced
  • salt, to taste
  • white pepper, to taste
  • 1/3 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 2 Tbsp fresh dill, finely chopped

Directions
  1. Halve the cucumbers, scoop out the seeds, and thinly slice. Put into a deep sealable bowl.
  2. In a small sauce pan combine vinegar, sugar, water, onion, salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil, stirring till sugar is dissolved.
  3. Pour over cucumbers. Let cool.
  4. Stir in dill and parsely, seal, and refrigerate overnight.
  5. Note: I like to use sliced onion because it looks nicer with the cucumber halves, but some prefer it more finely chopped.

I call it good!


My husband would call it slovak but I agree with Cheryilyn and call it good.


Isn't that funny, it's one of those universal dishes. Everyone (Nationality) seems to have it. Sort of like the meatball...


Love it.


I live in Germany and all the resturants i go to here serve this with some variations. It is delicious.


This is a german recipe no doubt! .... one from the old country. My german mother always made this and I have always loved it. She used red onions in it and it was always gobbled up! I love old world cooking! Delish...!!


This sounds really good. Cukes are starting in the garden and ya can never have enough recipes!
