A recipe from my mom who's from Stuttgart :) German cucumber salad marinates the cucumbers and other veggies in a vinegar-heavy dressing so it's rather tart and super refreshing in the summer. Also no oil so very healthy!

Ingredients

30 mins

4 servings

1large cucumber or 2 small
1large tomato or a few cherry tomatoes
1green bell pepper
2sprigs fresh dill
6-9 Tbspapple cider vinegar, or white wine or rice vinegar
1 Tbspwhole grain or Dijon mustard
1 tspsugar
to tasteSalt and pepper

Cooking Instructions

30 mins

1

Slice cucumbers as thin as possible (a slicer/mandolin works great if you have one). Chop the dill and bell pepper. Cut tomato into wedges.
2

Put all vegetables in a bowl and mix with mustard, vinegar, salt and pepper. The vinegar might seem too strong at first but it will get milder after marinating. Add sugar if you like to make it milder.
3

Cover and let marinate in the fridge for 20-30 minutes. Taste and add more vinegar, salt, etc if needed. Great with sandwiches, bread, or a side dish with basically any meal.

A German side dish or salad that often gets overlooked, but makes for a great accompaniment to most German meals. A great side too with grilled meats, especially with brats and chicken. It's very popular when “cukes” are in season / garden harvested, but year-round enjoyment when store bought should also be considered.

My mother used to make a similar recipe when I was younger. I was never able to get the recipe from her so this is the best recreation of it.

This has become a go-to for weekly meal prepping. It's such a simple, but tasty recipe and adds a lot of freshness to a meal. I usually pair it with some quinoa or brown rice, some chicken or drained and rinsed chickpeas and some feta cheese. If you'd like to take some of the 'bite' out of the raw onion, soak it in some cold water for a few minutes first.

The only thing i do differently on the recipe is i use one large seedless cucumber, around 12" and omit the tomatoes. Very tasty side dish, enjoy!

This salad is very simple to prepare, but it has a rich flavor, is very refreshing, and is the perfect complement to breaded, grilled, or fried beef, chicken, or pork.
