A refreshing and creamy cucumber salad inspired by German flavors, perfect for any occasion.
Slice the cucumbers thinly and place them in a large bowl.
Using a mandoline slicer can help achieve uniform slices quickly.
Thinly slice the onion and add it to the bowl with the cucumbers.
Soak the onion slices in cold water for a few minutes to reduce their sharpness.
Dice the roma tomatoes and add them to the bowl.
Remove the seeds from the tomatoes for a less watery salad.
In a small bowl, whisk together the sour cream, Dijon mustard, white vinegar, milk, sugar, parsley, dill, pepper, and salt.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning to your preference.
Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients in the large bowl.
Ensure all the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.
Toss the salad gently to combine all ingredients.
Use a large spoon or salad tongs to avoid breaking the vegetables.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the salad for at least 2 hours before serving.
Chilling allows the flavors to meld together for a more cohesive taste.
Serve the salad chilled, garnished with additional fresh dill if desired.
Pair this salad with grilled meats or a hearty stew for a balanced meal.
