German Noodle Salad
"An easy recipe that I got from a real German! LOL! This is a simple and traditional German dish and every family has their own recipe. It can be prepared for the next day's picnic or barbecue. Its perfect with fried fish or meat, served with a cold beer. You can experiment with some additional or other ingredients, depending on what you want to serve with it. Enjoy!"

This salad was a huge hit with DH, so much so that I almost didn't get any. He took this out of the fridge and ate most of it (I had halved the recipe). He said it was a great salad. High praise from someone who doesn't like pasta very much. It was so easy to make. The pickle juice added to the mayonnaise gave it wonderful flavor. I loved it too, and will be making this quite often. Thanks for sharing the recipe. -
Great summertime dish. Too hot to eat anything but something cool. I used some home made pickle relish and our family really enjoyed this. Made for ZWT7. -
A wonderful addition to our BBQ last night! I love the egg and pickle combo. Turns out what my hubby thought was green onion was actually fresh garlic - so I ended up using fresh chives from my garden in place of the green onion. I also added fresh pepper and some paprika just for a little interest. Made for ZWT6. -
I was extremely pleased with the amount of flavor that this simple salad delivers. I didn't feel like making a full magilla big dinner last evening so I pulled this out of my tag list (yay) and made it up. It was chilled for about 3 hrs and served with some imitation crab for a welcome lighter meal. I used broken linguine for the pasta and garlic dills. :D -
I enjoyed this salad, but even though I added extra mayo, it was still a little dry for me. Loved the green onions and gherkins. Next time I would add some dijon mustard as well, and add some salt and pepper. Thanks for sharing the recipe! Made for ZWT7.

I love great food and I particularly like trying cuisines new to me! Although I don't prepare as much food as I used to, creating in my kitchen is still one of my favourite things to do. Enjoy!
