GURKENSALAT MIT SAURER SAHNE

Cucumber Salad with Sour Cream

The third part of our Vienna Shrimp meal was the vegetable: cucumber salad. We decided that the salad didn’t need the egg garnish, but other than that we enjoyed it!

Gurkensalat mit saurer Sahne/Cucumber Salad with Sour Cream

1 egg

2 cucumbers

½ C thick sour cream

1 ½ tbsp vinegar

1 tbsp chopped chives

¾ tsp salt

1/8 tsp white pepper

Hard-cook the egg and set aside.

Rinse and pare cucumbers. I usually don’t bother to pare my vegetables, even when the recipes call for it, because the skins on most vegetables contain extra vitamins and nutrients – plus it’s less wasteful! Cut cucumbers into thin slices. Put in a bowl and set aside.

Mix remaining ingredients together, pour over cucumber slices, and toss gently to coat evenly. Chill in refrigerator.

When ready to serve, cut the peeled egg in half, remove the yolk and chop finely. Garnish salad with chopped egg yolk.

Like I said, the salad doesn’t really need the egg garnish, but other than that, it was delicious! The vinegar gives the salad a bright, refreshing taste, and the white pepper brings a wonderfully earthy background flavor.
