One of my favorite things from when I lived in Hungary! So simple, and so delicious... Another fantastic - and incredibly simple - Hungarian food is Uborkasálata, or Cucumber Salad. This recipe is a simple version, but doesn't include the dollop of sour cream on top. However this recipe uses more of the "traditional preparation methods" I am used to seeing... but, it omits the sugar, which is very weird. The freshness of the cucumber, the subtle spice of the paprika, the bitter of the vinegar, the light sweetness of the sugar... this is the best summer salad ever!
I went with your recommendation and description and made myself some using this recipe (website in Hungarian, but legible after running it through Google Translate) as it seemed to be closest to the description that you gave. I have to say, the list of ingredients alone made me hesitant at first, as it seemed to result in a rather violently clashing tastes (personally I prefer things to be on the milder side) but I was very pleasantly surprised and didn't even noticed when I had finished eating. Thank you for recommendation, I'm adding uborkasálata to the list of my personal favourites :D.Another fantastic - and incredibly simple - Hungarian food is Uborkasálata, or Cucumber Salad.
