Among East European Jews, the "agurke" is prepared differently and is called called an "ugerke" , a sour pickle, and is served as a side dish.

It is great in the summer, or anytime. I like cucumber salad with onions and sour cream, dill, salt and pepper.

We love to eat them as they are refreshing and a cool salad in the hot Texas summer is great. One thing though..... Why don't you seed the cucumbers, or suggest English Cukes with their digestible seed as well as a safe and healthy skin? Regular cukes are waxed on the outside and this isn't good to ingest which is why most people peel them before eating. As a student of French cooking, no chef would ever serve cuke anything with seeds in. I realize you suggest the salting method to remove whatever it is that makes one ill, but why not just "slide on over" to another type vs. eating a variety that is well known to make many people experience indigestion? Thanks, love your site! Hello and thanks for the cucumber salad recipe. We love to eat them as they are refreshing and a cool salad in the hot Texas summer is great. One thing though…..

Unfortunately my mother is no longer with us and I had lost my recipe for cucumber salad. I also add sliced onions to the salad and refrigerate it overnight. The vinegar acts on the onion to "cook" the onions to limp form. My mother used to make this and she just called it sliced cucumbers.
