-German Cucumber Salad - Gurkensalat-

It's 93F today and there is nothing more cool and refreshing than a German Cucumber Salad for lunch.
Since my childhood in Germany Cucumber Salad has been one of my favorites.. During hot summer days my mother would make this salad often. Usually on the side of salt potatoes and frikadellen which are a seasoned hamburger patty type dish.

Today I just had some Cucumber Salad all by itself for lunch and here is the recipe if you would like to try it.
It's a very light salad with an exhilarating taste that's delicious anytime of the year.

Ingredients

• 2 cucumbers
• 1 cup sour cream or you can use plain yogurt
• 1 medium to large tomato
• 1 small onion
• 2-4 tsp lemon juice
• 1/2 - 3/4 tsp dill

Note: Instead of just dill i prefer to use  Maggi spices number 4 "crisp salads" which is based on herbs such as dill, parsley, chives and lovage. Ideal for green salads, potato or cucumber salads, but also fish dishes, herb sauces and savory quark dishes. You can find Maggie number 4 herbs in German deli stores

• Pinch of salt 

Instructions

1. Peel and slice your cucumbers, slice your tomato, and dice your onion.
2.  In a bowl, combine sour cream or yogurt with dill (Maggie Number 4) and salt. Add lemon juice to taste. Mix well.
3. Add onion, cucumber, and tomato to the mixture and stir until the veggies are coated with the dressing. 

Place in the fridge for about 1-2 hours to chill
