Irm's Cuccumber Salad



Here's to you! Enjoy!


After much convincing and pleading, I think Miss Irm is ready to share her secret recipe for the most delicisous cuccumber salad anyone has ever had! So brace yourself for a great recipe - and simple!

Irm's Cuccumber Salad:

2 medium English Cuccumbers
1 tsp salt
1 small onion - finely chopped
1 large tomato - chopped (Optional)
3 tbsp - Apple Vinegar
3 tbsp - Extra Light Olive Oil
2 tbsp Parsley - dried or fresh finely chopped
Sprinkle Krauterlinge - a German Spice
Sugar to taste
Pepper to taste

Peel cuccumbers or not, thin sliced - best done with a mandalin slicer. Sprinkle with salt and let sit for 1 hour.
Drain liquid off cuccumbers. Then add finely chopped onion, tomato, pepper, sugar, apple vinegar, extra light olive oil , parsley, and then add Irm's special German Spice called Krauterlinge made by KNORR*. Gently stir and refrigerate for as little as 30 minutes up to a day later.

* This spice may be difficult to find but if you have a local German Deli or section in your grocery store. Worse come to worse, go online and order this spice. The added taste is well worth it!!
