    Andi of Longmeadow Farm's Note:

    "Gurkensalat" is a German stand-by. I have been eating this little salad since I was knee-high-to-a-grasshopper. The trick to this salad is 1. really getting the water out of the cucumber by salting the cucumbers and letting sit in a colander for 20 minutes to delete excess water. 2. I use fresh chives from the garden, and make sure my cucumbers are already cold before adding sour cream.

      Yummy! I have had this recipe saved for some time and have finally gotten the chance to make it...kinda wish I hadn't waited so long! I had about 1/3 very large cuke to use up; I halved everything else and it was perfect. Used green onion instead of chives as they were what I had. Thanks for sharing Andi!

      We had a mixed review on these German cucumbers. I didn't realize that they had vinegar as well as sour cream and so it turned out that since I'm not a huge sour cream fan, it was a bit too tart for me. But my 16 year old granddaughter who loves sour cream really liked these. I'm taking them to a potluck lunch at church tomorrow along with the other 2 salads I made tonight. Thanks Andi for expanding my horizons in cucumbers. Made for PAC Fall 2011.

      Mom would make this when we were growing up but she would use mayo. I really prefer your sour cream recipe over mom's. Sh... don't let her know I said that. This was very easy to make and the whole family loved it. This will go into my Encore Cookbook. Made for Group 5 - Cuppa Tea for AUSSIE /NZ Swap Aug 11
