Side dish to roast or briefly fried meat

Wash and dry the cucumbers, then slice them thinly without peeling them. For the marinade, combine the oil with lemon vinegar, mustard, salt, pepper, and a generous pinch of sugar in a bowl. Peel and finely dice the onions. Mix them with the chives and dill in the marinade, pour over the salad, and mix well. Tip: Instead of the oil and vinegar marinade, you can also prepare a yogurt and cream marinade. Mix 4 tablespoons of sweet or sour cream with 2 tablespoons of yogurt and the juice of half a lemon. Season with salt, pepper, sugar, mustard, and finely chopped onion. Also mix in chopped herbs such as chives, dill, parsley, cress, and lemon balm.
