Cucumber salad

Cucumber salad is a salad dish with cucumber as its main ingredient.

Varieties

The basic form is thin slices of cucumber with a vinaigrette dressing.^[1] The salad may include condiments from Chinese cuisine, such as soy sauce and sesame oil,^[2] or elements from Thai cuisine such as peanuts, prawns and chili peppers.^[3] Australian chef Adam Liaw included "Korean hot chilli flakes" in his recipe for a "simple Korean version".^[4] A German cuisine version, a Gurkensalat, may include chives, dill, and sour cream.^[5]

In culture

In A Journey to the Western Islands of Scotland, a narrative of his 1773 journey though Scotland, Samuel Johnson remarked A cucumber should be well sliced, and dressed with pepper and vinegar, and then thrown out, as good for nothing.^[1]
According to some accounts of the history of the telephone, some of the first intelligible words heard over the Reis telephone were Das Pferd frisst keinen Gurkensalat.^[6]
In 2024, Logan Moffitt went viral with a series of cucumber salads made in deli containers.^[7]
