Creamy Cucumber Salad
By Chef Hungary (@chef_hungary)
Ingredients
- 2 English cucumbers
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 small onion
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- pepper (to taste)
Directions
- 1Wash and peel the cucumbers. Slice them thin using a mandolin or the slicing side of a 4-sided grater.
- 2Add salt to the top, cover the bowl with plastic wrap (or similar), and refrigerate for 4 hours.
- 3Remove the cucumber bowl from the fridge, strain the visible water, and squeeze the cucumbers with your hands to remove excess water. Alternatively, you can also press a small plate against the cucumbers if you don't want to use your hands.
- 4Peel and thinly slice a small onion.
- 5Add sour cream, onion, and paprika to the bowl and mix well.
- 6Add pepper and salt to taste (be very careful with any extra salt because it should be salty enough), mix and serve.
