I got this recipe from my neighbor's mother. She taught me how to make it. She was from Bavaria Province in Germany.
Blue Ribbon Recipe
We loved the method for making this German cucumber salad. Slicing the cucumber very thin lets the salt draw out the natural juices. The dressing that is added is tangy, but the little bit of sugar helps to balance the flavors. Dill weed is a wonderful addition and elevates the flavors in this cucumber salad. A refreshing salad for summer.
