Hungarian Cucumber Salad (Uborka Saláta)

This Hungarian cucumber salad is iconic. It will appear without fail at any home-cooked feast.

With a tangy - sweet flavour, it's a great accompaniment to any kind of breaded meat (think schnitzel or fried chicken), and the perfect side for Chicken Paprikas. I was not fond of it as a child since I hated cucumber seeds, but these days most of us use "English Cucumbers" which are almost seedless.

For years, this appeared every Xmas, made by my mother-in-law. Once she stopped baking, it was missed, so I made it my business to figure it out. Maybe one day someone else in the family will join me in carrying on the tradition.

There’s quite a story about this 125 year old confection. If you have ever been to Budapest, you undoubtedly went to the famous Cafe Gerbeaud. This is one of their signature desserts.
