on this episode of kitchen dad's were
doing a German cucumber salad great way
to use up all those summer cucumbers
stay tuned hi I'm cliff and welcome to
kitchen dads we're all about fun and
food and family we make a lot of food
that's good for your soul and food
that's good for your body and a whole
bunch that's in-between so growing up we
had a couple different cucumber salads
my mom was German she made two salads
that I really like she made for me I
want to show those for you I've made one
already on kitchen dads it's just a it's
a cucumber salad with with vinegar and
onions check it out it's really great
this one is a it's a German version it's
very similar but has little sour creams
few other things
it's simple you get a lot of those
summer cucumbers because you know when
it when it's when it's time in the
summer
cucumbers explode you trying to find
ways to use them and actually you know
what cucumbers are great any time so
what we have here is we have we're going
to use two cucumbers now I cut one up
already again for those of you we want
to peel this one some recipes you don't
need to peel the cucumbers this one we
do we don't want the green on the
outside all right repealed our cucumbers
if you don't get it all up don't worry
it add a little color all right now we
need to slice the cucumber's you can do
this with a knife very slowly we want
very thin slices of cucumbers are
probably like eight inch if you have a
little mandolin that's great I have one
here that's probably like 50 years old
is pretty cool you can just go through
and slice those cucumbers make
adjustments that's not thin enough
all right so we sliced up our cucumbers
ideally you can put a little salt on
them to help to draw some of the
moisture we can pour that out we're
gonna take a bowl and put our cucumbers
in there we are going to add in half of
an onion we've sliced it very very thin
all right you're gonna have F of none
ioan onions are optional it does add a
nice nice little crunch to the salad
look a nice onion taste complements the
cucumber as well we have two teaspoons
of white vinegar we have a sugar
substitute you can put in the two
teaspoons of sugar we're using stevia as
a substitute right we have a pinch of
salt because remember we've salted the
cucumber's already again so we don't
need to have that much more salt we have
a half a cup of sour cream this is full
fat sour cream if you want to use light
that's fine and then we have some dill
grab a knife we're going to put in about
two two tablespoons of dill I like a lot
of dill I usually put a little bit more
in do it to your taste
reminds me of summer at that point we're
going to just mix this up it's best to
let this salad sit a little bit the
cucumbers are going to release a little
bit more of their moisture it's going to
help thin out the sour cream if you do
let it sit just give it another stir or
another mix before you serve it
all right let's give this a little shot
some onion cucumber that's a great
balance between the sweet and the sour
the crunchy the dill it's uh one of my
favorites I hope it becomes one of your
favorites give it a shot
it's Ingrid's German cucumber salad
