Anybody ever heard of German cucumbers. NOT pickles. They are sliced and salted and sprinkled with dill, I think. I believe I once had them at an October Fest.

Thanks for the salad recipes. I was looking for something other than cucumber pickles or salads. The ones I remember were English cucs, cut into chunks, salted, dilled, and ??? - - - - Can’t remember what else.

That’s basically what the first recipe I posted is.

Thanks everyone. I am not making myself clear. All of your kind responses have been for salads using mayo, sour cream, buttermilk, oil, etc. These were not a salad, but merely sliced on a platter with salt, dill, and something else. Nothing wet.
