German Cucumber Salad

Here is an easy German Cucumber Salad recipe. And boy does it taste good. I love cucumbers and if you do too than you will love this! German Cucumber Salad Recipe (Gurkensalad) is one of my favorite summer salad recipes, however you can make it whatever time of the year it is.

In fact, it's one that I just can't alter. I've tried, BUT, nothing beats the original recipe that I grew up with. It seems, that whenever I make it, I never make enough. I used to make this when I was in the Army and everyone seemed to love it.

I start out, always adding an extra cucumber to make sure there's enough. Somehow, it always disappears quickly. My plan is always to make more the next time, after all, it's a quick German recipe...so easy to make.

Adults and kids alike just love the taste and the creaminess. You'll find that when you serve this, everyone wants this German Cucumber Salad Recipe, so be prepared to give it out. Here is my recipe.

Hints

* If you have time, you can pre-slice the cucumbers and sprinkle them with a little salt and let them stand. Pour off the accumulated cucumber "water" BEFORE adding the dressing

* Use vinegar instead of lemon juice

* Use low fat sour cream or plain yogurt instead of the regular sour cream
