German Cucumber Salad

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 4 hours 10 minutes (includes chilling time)
Makes: 4 servings
Weight Watchers Points: Approximately 3 SmartPoints per serving

Ingredients:

  • 2 telegraph cucumbers (the long ones) or 4 Lebanese cucumbers
  • 1 teaspoon white sugar
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh dill weed
  • 1/2 cup sour cream or plain Greek yogurt
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Cucumbers: If desired, peel the cucumbers. Cut them into very thin slices using a knife or a mandoline slicer set to 0.2-inch thickness.
  2. Make the Dressing: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar, white vinegar, salt, minced fresh dill weed, sour cream or Greek yogurt, and black pepper until well combined.
  3. Combine and Chill: Add the cucumber slices to the dressing mixture. Toss gently to coat the cucumbers evenly with the dressing.
  4. Chill the Salad: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the salad to an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to meld and the cucumbers to marinate.
  5. Serve: Before serving, toss the salad again to redistribute the dressing. Serve chilled as a refreshing side dish.
