Creamy, fresh, and authentically German.
Fresh Ingredients
The key to a perfect German cucumber salad is the balance of crunchy cucumbers, a rich creamy dressing, and aromatic fresh dill. Use the highest quality Eagle spices for that authentic heritage taste.
The Cucumber
2 large English cucumbers
1 tsp fine sea salt
Garnish & Herb
1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped
Eagle All Purpose Seasoning
Creamy Dressing
1/2 cup sour cream
2 tbsp white vinegar
1 tbsp granulated sugar
1/4 tsp black pepper
Cooking Directions
01
Thinly Slice Cucumbers
Peel the cucumbers (optional) and slice them into paper-thin rounds using a mandoline or sharp knife for even consistency.
02
Salt and Sweating
Place slices in a colander, sprinkle generously with salt, and toss. Let sit for 30 minutes to draw out excess moisture.
03
Drain and Dry
Rinse slightly and pat the cucumbers completely dry with paper towels. This ensures the dressing remains thick and creamy.
04
Prepare the Dressing
In a large bowl, whisk together sour cream, white vinegar, sugar, and plenty of fresh chopped dill until combined.
05
Chill and Serve
Toss the cucumbers in the dressing, season with black pepper, and refrigerate for at least one hour to let flavors meld.
