How To Make New York Deli Cucumber Salad

[@SipandFeast]

You requested this one after I showed a glimpse of it during the New York deli coleslaw video:kzbin.info/www/bejne/onqanGSvmtyEmZY so here it is. Often the cucumber skins will be removed and the slices or chunks are thicker. Regardless of the shape, the flavor of this salad is spot on. The ingredients are in the written description. As always, thanks for liking and sharing our videos.

[@jackiewinters5792]

I'm one of those that requested this & I thank you so much for taking the time to make this for us! 💜🥒🥗

[@Curennen]

You can also use a cheese slicer intead of a mandolin, for the thin slices :)

[@blahblahblahblech]

Throw some light oil on that board. It will soak it right up

Delis also used to offer German/Jewish "Gesundheit" (health) salad. It was a mixture of sliced summer vegetables (cabbage, bell peppers, celery, radishes, carrots, cucumbers, onion) that was dressed with a dressing of vinegar, oil, sugar, salt, and garlic powder; and then packed into a big jar or a crock. Each of the peoples of central and eastern Europe (Germans, Poles, Hungarians, Russians) have their own variation of this salad.

[@JimMorrison-m8x]

Hey Jim! I find that taking a 1 gallon zip lock bag and putting everyhthing in it to marinade, and squeezing the air out before closing it works better than the baking dish overnight in the fridge. It also puts everything in contact with the marinade and takes up less space inside your fridge. This is also easier to transport in a cooler to the beach or a pic nic. Good stuff.😋

[@pattiannepascual]

it does work but the only problem is the micro plastics in the bag leaching into the food.i assume the vinegar may make it even worse.

❤Howdy, "Brentwood"! My wife, Son, and I live in Lindenhurst, NY. During the Summer months, when our cucumbers are exploding, we all take a hard in preparing our versions of cucumbers salad.

[@joseantoniodavila2752]

Greetings from Spain. I learned a similar recipe from an Ukrainian here. One trick is to soak the whole cucumbers in water overnight, in the fridge. It is so to get crispy cucumber slices rather than soft.

Interesting to know this trick. I like the crisp in the cucumbers and always get disappointed when cutting them and they’re not crisp.

Amazing that so many cultures have a variation of this recipe. In Denmark we call it agurkeslat, typically doesn't have onion and uses a lot more sugar. But I tried this version yesterday, and I really liked it. Normally I don't care for uncooked onion, but the pickling process makes it very enjoyable.

[@JJ-qt6wc]

I salt the onions and cucumbers while in a strainer for an hour to release excess moisture. Mix 'em all in a plastic zip lock, And sometimes 1/2 tsp celery salt. Serve in a bowl, not a dish. Sweet and sour freezing cucumbers, we call them.

Slice the cucumbers like you did, add them to a jar sterilized with boiling water & emptied, make a mix of vinegar & sugar, 1:1, cold, just keep mixing, it will dissolve... Add salt & pepper to taste, and pour over the jars, lock them up & keep them for at least 2 days in the fridge before tasting... Holds for a very, very long time :)

Can you keep the vinegar/sugar mixture for a repeat recipe?

[@Miltiades77]

@@OceanFrontVilla3 Hey Snowbird... Not really, as the water from the cucumbers dilute the solution, so the next batch won't taste as strong as the first one. Also, with the added water, you'll be in risk of microbacterial growths in later batches. So, start fresh every time you make it :) Doesn't take long, ingredients are cheap, and it lasts a pretty long time (at least 3 months) Have fun & enjoy :)

[@llm4132]

This reminds me of a dish my dad made in the summer when his garden was full of cucumbers. He filled a large mason jar with sliced cucumbers and onions which he then covered with a mixture of equal parts sugar and white vinegar till the liquid covered the veggies. Lots of black pepper and a little salt. As the level of veggies decreased he would just add more cucumbers and onions till he felt it was time to start a new batch. He called it “pickled cucumbers” because they weren’t pickles exactly. It’s was delicious.

alternative for better taste: add salt sugar vinegar to the cucumbers and mix. After 1 hour rest press between hands to let it loose some cucumber juice.

I love that thing. And in my family, the only kind of cucumber salad I've ever had uses mayo, sour cream and a much smaller amount of sugar. Plus instead of vinegar, a fairly small amount of pickle juice is used. Also substantially less onions, but adds some chives, parsley, dill and pepper.

I had a cucumber salad in Germany 36 years ago and it was so good. I’ve been looking for a recipe ever since.

From Chicago and this is the exact recipe my Mom always made. Love it and make this often. Try it with red pepper flakes sometime. I think you all will love it. Fun change.
