Hungarian cucumber salad🇭🇺

🥣 Instructions:

  1. 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.
  2. Make the dressing:
    • In a small bowl, mix vinegar, sugar, water, and minced garlic.
    • Stir until the sugar dissolves completely.
  3. 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.
  4. 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?
