Hungarian cucumber salad

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1️⃣ Prep the cucumbers

  1. Thinly slice cucumbers (a mandoline works great).
  2. Lightly salt and let sit 10 minutes, then drain excess liquid.

2️⃣ Mix the salad

  1. In a bowl, combine cucumbers, sliced onion, vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper.
  2. Toss well to coat evenly.

3️⃣ Optional creamy version

  1. Stir in 2 tbsp sour cream for a richer, creamier salad.

4️⃣ Serve

  1. Garnish with fresh dill if desired.
  2. Chill 15–20 minutes before serving for best flavor.

✨ Tips

  • Use thinly sliced cucumbers for a tender texture.
  • Add a pinch of garlic powder or minced garlic for extra zing.
  • Perfect alongside goulash, stuffed peppers, or roasted meats.
  • Can be stored in the fridge for 1–2 days — flavors intensify over time.
