The way my German mother used to make it was slice the cucumber very thin, then sprinkle salt over the slices and let that sit for an hour, then drain of the liquid and rinse of most of the salt, then made the dressing the same way ; either way it's my favorite thing to eat in the summer months

My mother was German and we grew up on this. Each time the fire or police department had fundraisers, they always asked her to make this for their dinners. We learned to do away with the hand made dressing. Cucumber Ranch dressing with a splash of vinegar and dill seasoning works just as well.

I would prepare the salad as be scribed but would add the sour cream last after letting the cucumber rest for a while. My opinion is, the cucumbers blending better with the watery ingredients before the fatty cream. Just an opinion. ❤ "En guete mitenand"

It drives me crazy when people mix up their dressing in the bowl with the other ingredients. How do you not understand you get a better mixture if you make the dressing in a separate bowl then pour it over the cucumbers. potatoes whatever? Guess what, the dressing is even tastier if you make it the day before and let all those flavors mingle together. Those cucumbers are way too thin, they're going to turn into mush if you don't eat them right away.
