Description

During cucumber season, this salad is a must in Austria. Fresh and flavoured with dill, it goes perfectly with many dishes, especially breaded meats such as the famous Viennese schnitzel. Simple to prepare, it keeps well in the fridge and always adds a touch of lightness to summer and winter meals alike.
