EASY & DELICIOUS CUCUMBER SALAD, HUNGARIAN STYLE
This simple and easy to make cucumber salad comes from my fiance's Hungarian family. It can be made with or without sour cream. We like to serve it as an accompaniment to baked chicken or pork. It also would make a nice addition to a summertime picnic or barbecue spread.

Steps:
- 1. Peel cucumbers and slice wafer thin. Thinly slice onions.
- 2. Place cucumbers into bowl. Mix cucumbers by hand with a lot of salt (this is necessary to draw the water from the cucumbers). Chill for 30 minutes or so.
- 3. By hand, squeeze the moisture from the cucumbers ~ really wring them out! Place into colander and rinse.
- 4. Return cucumbers to bowl and add sliced onions. Add about a cup of white vinegar. Add about ½ cup of water. Add 2-3 tablespoons of sugar.
- 5. Stir and taste. Adjust vinegar, sugar and salt to taste.
- 6. If you find that you have added too much vinegar, add more water.
- 7. Once you have achieved the flavor you want, drain off liquid until the liquid comes to only about ¼ inch under the cucumbers and onions.
- 8. Sprinkle Hungarian paprika & ground black pepper over top of cucumbers ~~ Don't mix!
- 9. Chill and enjoy!
- 10. *** Variation: After adjusting the spices for the last time, drain off all of the liquid. Stir in sour cream to the desired consistency. Top with Hungarian paprika and ground black pepper as above. Chill.

Steps:
- Slice cucumbers very thinly, preferably using a mandolin.
- Take a colander, put in a small layer of cucumbers, then sprinkle with a small amount of the salt.
- Continue this method until all the salt and cucumbers are used up.
- Cover the cucumbers with a plate inside the colander, and put a very heavy weight on top.
- Make sure the colander is in a large bowl, because the cucumbers will lose alot of water.
- Let them sit for 1 hour.
- In the meantime, chop the dill and finely mince the garlic, put aside.
- After 1 hour, take a handful of cucumbers, and squeeze out as much juice as you can, and continue until they are all done.
- Rinse thoroughly with water, drain well.
- After the cucumbers are done, return to the colander, and weight down one more time for about 15 minutes.
- You do not have to squeeze out the juice again with your hands Combine all ingredients in a large bowl, except the paprika.
- After mixing thoroughly, put in a nice serving dish, and sprinkle with the paprika.
- Chill for at least 2 hours.
- Enjoy.
- Nutritional information shows a high amount of sodium, but the vast majority is pressed out by your hands. The main function of the kosher salt is to purge the moisture out of the cucumbers.
