Cucumber Dill Salad

This refreshing cucumber and onion salad is a mainstay in NYC German delis. Great served with burgers!

I haven’t eaten this in years. Mainly because I’m no longer close to any good German delicatessens anymore.

Picnic perfect

My sister is visiting and last weekend we were invited to my good friend Lori W’s house for a picnic. Lori served this as one of the sides and we all just went wild! Decided then I was going to make some up too.

 

Great friends, great food
RIP Charlie 1/2018. You are so missed

This salad is technically a pickle because it’s brined. It’s a very simple fresh-pack brine that can be used for any veggie you want slightly sweet.

Fresh dill is always best, but I didn’t have any so I used the dehydrated kind you find at the grocery. If you want to use fresh, 2 nice bushy sprigs would be about right.

A deli staple

This salad is perfect as a side to cold fried chicken (what Lori had) or with grilled burgers. Great eaten alone too as a starter/appetizer.
