German Cucumber and Bacon Salad image

I adapted this recipe combining two recipes from my German and Czech Cookbooks to fit the description of the poster's request. Enjoy it.

Categories     Low Protein

Time 20m

Yield 3 to 4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 slices bacon
1/2 onion, chopped
4 cucumbers, peeled & thinly sliced
4 tablespoons vinegar (can use apple cider vinegar)
1 teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Steps:

  • In a hot skillet, fry bacon and remove from pan. Save one tablespoon of bacon grease and fry chopped onion and cucumber slices.
  • Add vinegar, sugar, cornstarch, salt and pepper. Simmer in low heat until done. Crumble in bacon.
  • Cool and refrigerate for flavors to blend. It can be serve with sandwiches, if you like.
  • UPDATE - MY PERSONAL NOTE: I made this recipe and liked the combination of flavors, except for the vinegar that is a little acid for my taste buds, so next time I will mix the cornstarch with water instead of the apple cider vinegar.
