Jump To RecipeThe Making Process.
Here’s how to make what I call the “german cucumber salad sour cream”.
Do you have sour cream lying around somewhere in your house? Yes? Get it! You’ll need it. The first thing you have to do in the making process is to get some fresh cucumbers and slice them up. After doing this, get a baking sheet and tea towel, line them up together and lay the sliced cucumbers on it.
Sprinkle salt on the cucumber and allow for about 25 to 30 minutes. Doing this will reduce the water content of the cucumber so you don’t get an over watery cucumber salad.
Get a large bowl and toss the cucumbers inside. Here comes my favorite part, slice in some red onion in the bowl, chop some dill inside and finally, mince garlic.
After adding all the necessary components, it’s time for the sour cream. Add sour cream to the mixture and a little bit of vinegar (apple cider to be precise).
Mix and stir properly.
keep it in a fridge for some minutes and serve cold. You can skip this step if you don’t fancy it.
Serve!
Now, how easy was that? I bet you won’t spend more than 25 minutes on this.
Can This Work As A Side Dish?
Yes, this german cucumber dill salad works perfectly well as a side dish. It is absolutely healthy and low in carbs. In fact, it’s one of the best low carb sides you’d ever have.
You can decide to serve it alongside a low carb pasta dish or whatever you please, just make sure you are doing it rightly. There are lots of cucumber recipes you could try out, but for me, this one is simply the best.
Can This Cucumber Salad Be Given To Kids?
It’s cucumber and it is 100% healthy for kids. If you are into giving your kids lots of junk you should stop doing it. They actually need more veggies, although 99% of kids do not like veggies, they just have to learn how to eat them for their own good.
Final Words
This low carb cucumber salad recipe is to die for, I have to warn you though, you might get really addicted after making this. I’m serious I had to stop going grocery shopping for a whole week because I didn’t want to see fresh cucumbers. I’ll surely buy them and when I do, cucumber salad would be first on my salad list.
