Gherkinsalat Recipe


Gherkinsalat Recipe
This is my favourite salad that has been made in my family for generations. It is simple and delicious and a fixture on our Christmas dinner table.

Ingredients
  • 2 cucumbers, peel removed and sliced as thinly as possible in rounds
  • 1 white onion, sliced very thinly in rings or half rings
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup white vinegar
  • salt and pepper

Directions
  1. Slice cucumbers, place in bowl and salt. Press a saucer down on the cucumbers and let sit for 2 hours, pressingly firmly and draining once in awhile. This will remove any bitterness from the cucumbers and also remove excess water.
  2. Once cucumbers have been drained for 2 hours, add the onions, sour cream and vinegar to the bowl and mix. Salt and pepper to taste. Refrigerate for several hours to blend flavours and serve cold.

I've had this. It's delicious. I'm inspired to toss this in with the next dinner! (I didn't know about the draining part.)


This looks like one I will have to try!
Thanks


This was the only way my mother would eat cucumbers. I will eat them any way I get them but this is the next way I'm doing cucumbers! You made me hungry too!


We love this. I place a quart soda bottle on the dish to press out the bitterness and extra water,Great post....Bob


Terrific! :)


Finally! A name for it. We just call it cukes in sour cream. Sometimes we add a touch of sugar.
