The customary German cucumber serving of mixed greens is made with a great deal of dill and you can likewise include parsley, tomatoes, and garlic. There are two kinds of dressing that are typically utilized for this serving of mixed greens. You can make it with sharp cream or yogurt based dressing or with oil and vinegar based dressing.
The key to making a heavenly German cucumber serving of mixed greens is to cut the cucumbers truly dainty. I couldn't cut them excessively slight for the photos in light of the fact that my mandolin slicer isn't customizable and I don't generally mind them to be somewhat thicker. Yet, Germans normally cut the cucumbers so dainty that the cuts are practically translucent.
I want to purchase little handle cucumbers for this serving of mixed greens when they are accessible in markets here in Toronto. I adore them since they are neighborhood, overly new, crunchy, and marginally sweet. In any case, enormous field cucumbers or English cucumbers work extraordinary as well. On the off chance that you utilize enormous field cucumbers, make a point to strip them and evacuate the seeds.
