🥣 Instructions:
- Prepare the cucumbers:
- Peel and thinly slice cucumbers.
- Place in a bowl, sprinkle with salt, and let sit for 20–30 minutes to draw out excess water.
- After resting, squeeze out the liquid gently with your hands.
- Make the dressing:
- In a small bowl, mix vinegar, sugar, water, and minced garlic.
- Stir until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Combine:
- Pour the dressing over the cucumbers and mix well.
- Taste and adjust the flavor with more sugar or vinegar if needed.
- Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving for the best flavor.
- To serve:
- Sprinkle with black pepper and paprika.
- For the creamy version, mix in sour cream just before serving.
🍽️ Tip:
This salad pairs beautifully with meaty or rich dishes — the tangy vinegar and garlic cut through the heaviness and balance the flavors perfectly.
Would you like me to include the creamy Hungarian cucumber salad (Tejfölös uborkasaláta) version next?
