This is the cucumber salad I grew up with. We had no such things as pepper flakes and I would never use that. Try it my way and see whether you like that salad, made the Viennese way.
I like cucumber salad made several different ways, but I really like it made the way you make it. A friend's mother who was born and raised in Germany always made it this way, and I always loved it.
It is a "never fail" recipe, because you can always repair your mistakes. It is refreshing and easy to make. As you say, there are many other ways and I like sour cream and dill very much, but this is the easiest and the best. I may make it for tonight. I have two nice cucumbers in the kitchen, just enough for Marcel and for me.

I may have to stop on the way home from work and buy a cucumber. I think I can get a good one (as you described) at my organic market.
I'm really glad you posted it!
