Time 1h35m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 English cucumbers (peeled if preferred)
1 tablespoon salt (more to taste)
1/2 small chopped hot banana pepper (optional)
2 crushed cloves of garlic
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons vinegar
2/3 cup sour cream
ground black pepper (to taste)
a sprinkle of paprika
chives (optional)

Steps:

  • Wash and - if desired - peel your cucumbers. Thinly slice your cucumbers with a mandolin or four-sided box grater.
  • Place the cucumbers in a bowl, sprinkle 1 tbsp of salt on top, and put the bowl in the fridge for 1.5 hours.
  • After taking the cucumbers back out of the fridge, drain the excess water and squeeze the cucumbers either with your hands or by pushing a small plate on top to remove and drain any additional liquid.
  • Add the chopped hot banana pepper (optional), the crushed garlic, sugar, vinegar, sour cream, pepper, and paprika. Mix everything together in the bowl and add more spices or sour cream to taste.
  • Refrigerate your cucumber salad for several hours (or overnight). You can add more pepper, paprika, and chopped chives to garnish before serving.

I make salads all the time, but sometimes I get carried away with making such huge concoctions with so many ingredients that it almost distracts from the meal rather than adds to it! This is the most simple salad that is so refreshing and light. It really is a great starter for absolutely any meal. And, all you need is...

Great salad to make when you have a ton of cucumbers coming out of the garden. We make this year round but we are real cuke lovers in this family. Let it sit for a few days in the fridge and it's even better! Great make-ahead dish for BBQs and parties.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, ripe tomatoes: Use tomatoes that are at their peak ripeness for the best flavor. Look for tomatoes that are plump and have a deep red color.
  • Use high-quality olive oil: Extra virgin olive oil is the best choice for this salad. It has a rich, fruity flavor that will enhance the taste of the other ingredients.
  • Chop the vegetables evenly: This will help them cook evenly and look more appealing in the salad.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables: The vegetables should be tender but still have a bit of a crunch to them. Overcooking them will make them mushy and bland.
  • Season the salad to taste: Add salt and pepper to taste. You can also add a splash of vinegar or lemon juice for a bit of acidity.

Conclusion:

French Hungarian salad is a delicious and refreshing salad that is perfect for a summer picnic or potluck. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its vibrant colors and flavors, this salad is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
