Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz wide egg noodles
- 0.5 cup fresh dill
- 1 medium red onion
- 1 large cucumber
- 3 tbsp white wine vinegar
- 4 tbsp olive oil
- 3 tbsp sour cream
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp granulated sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
Fill a large pot with salted water and bring it to a boil. Cook the egg noodles according to package instructions, usually about 8-10 minutes, until al dente. Drain the noodles and rinse them under cold water to cool. Set aside.
While the noodles are cooking, finely chop the fresh dill and thinly slice the red onion. Peel the cucumber and slice it into thin rounds or half-moons, depending on your preference.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the white wine vinegar, olive oil, sour cream, Dijon mustard, granulated sugar, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Add the cooked and cooled noodles to the mixing bowl with the dressing. Toss to coat evenly.
Gently fold in the dill, red onion, and cucumber slices. Mix well but carefully to avoid breaking the noodles.
Taste the salad and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
For added freshness and color, sprinkle chopped fresh parsley on top, if desired.
Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled as a side dish or light main dish. Enjoy your German Dill Noodle Salad!
