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)

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Add the cooked and cooled noodles to the mixing bowl with the dressing. Toss to coat evenly.

Step 5

Gently fold in the dill, red onion, and cucumber slices. Mix well but carefully to avoid breaking the noodles.

Step 6

Taste the salad and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.

Step 7

For added freshness and color, sprinkle chopped fresh parsley on top, if desired.

Step 8

Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 9

Serve chilled as a side dish or light main dish. Enjoy your German Dill Noodle Salad!
