Hungarian Cucumber Salad with Sour Cream is a very delicious and refreshing salad. Garlic, vinegar and sour cream enhance the flavours. To get the thinnest possible see-through slices, use a mandolin. The spray is refreshing in your face while you slice piles of cucumber mounds. The vinaigrette is so light and refreshing, that you will be tempted to drink it after you eat the cucumber salad. Although Sour Cream is used in abundance, try both versions.
Peel and slice cucumbers thinly on a mandolin slicer. Place in a large bowl, sprinkle with salt and set aside for about ½ hour. The cucumbers will release about ½+ cup liquid. Then, take large handfuls of cucumbers and with your hands clenched, squeeze out as much liquid as you can and place the balls of squeezed cucumbers in a bowl. Discard the liquid.
Vinaigrette - In a glass serving bowl, combine the vinegar, water, pepper, sugar and garlic or onions. Place the cucumber into the vinaigrette and combine thoroughly. Place a dollop of sour cream on each serving and then sprinkle lightly with sweet paprika or put sour cream right into the
vinaigrette and combine before adding squeezed cucumbers.
Serving Suggestions: This salad accompanies roast meats and chicken dishes.
Chef’s Hint: Use garlic or onion, but not both.
Chef's Hint: The Sour Cream Version is the most popular, but sour cream is not an absolute.
