Reddit mentions of Knorr Salat Kronung Dill-Krauter (Salad Herbs and Dill), 5-Count Packets

Vinegar-based over cream-based as a general rule. For a quick German salad...this is what you do and it's fucking delicious.

You get a cucumber and a tomato. Or just a cucumber.

You get a packet of knorr powered salad dressing, the one with dill spice in it. Called - Knorr Salat Krönung dill-kräuter.

You make the dressing according to directions (ie water, oil, vinegar) and add it to your chopped up cucumber.

Toss, and enjoy. It's the shit. And takes like 5 min.

If you are up for a little more cooking and know how to boil water, you can make the best German potato salad ever. EVER. Direct from my Oma to you fine people:

1 long english (14") cucumber (or 2 med sized cukes)

8 medium sized red potatoes

2 packets knorr dill-kräuter spice salad dressing

2 chicken bouillon cubes (or use beef or veg flavor, your preference)

Apple cider vinegar

Water

Soy sauce

Olive oil (or canola, your preference)

Worcestershire sauce

Cut cucumber into thin coins. Boil potatoes with skin on till knife cuts through easy. Drain potatoes and let cool in cold water briefly until they are able to be handled without burning your fingers.
Put bouillon cubes in small saucepan, add 1/2 cup vinegar. Heat till cubes dissolve in vinegar. Put knorr powered dressing spice in a large bowl, add vinegar-bouillon liquid, add 2 tablespoons of water and 3 tablespoons oil. Wisk together. Add a 2 teaspoons each of soy sauce and Worcestershire sauce. Wisk. Add more vinegar to taste. You want to aim for a concentrated vinegary umami flavor. But tastes vary by person. I like something more vinegary so I add more apple cider vinegar.

Add in the cucumber. Let sit for 10 min to let them get a slight pickle. Now do a rough chop of the boiled potatoes into coins. The final mixing will naturally break up the potatoes into smaller pieces. Keep the skin on friends...don't be a monster.... that's flavor. Put chopped potatoes in the cucumber dressing bowl and gently mix everything together. Let sit for 5 min, then do a taste test and add more vinegar/soy sauce/Worcestershire sauce to taste. You shouldn't really need much more.

No need to add any salt or anything. All the seasoning is in the knorr powder! It's a wonder spice blend!

You can be fancy and toss in a thinly sliced red onion. You can be next level extra fancy by adding a few crushed up pieces of crispy bacon and bacon drippings. 🥒🥓🥓

The potato salad is best after an hour resting... IF you can wait that long to eat it. It's amazing the next day after being in the refrigerator overnight. It's the best side dish to take to a bbq or potluck. This is the quick salad my Oma would always make. It's 100% german grandmother approved. It's ridiculously good with seared and grilled salmon.

Thing is that it's on the hard side to find the knorr seasoning in american stores. I always had german relatives send me boxes of the stuff from Germany. I recently found that amazon sells it. The directions are in German, but that's what Google translate is for.

Thanks! I never hated veggies, but yes, my taste buds have changed a bit. I thought the Eatsmart Veggie Sticks were okay when I first bought them and now I think they are the best snack ever. :)

The Morningstar Chickpea or Spicy Black Bean burgers are great when it needs to be quick and easy. We eat two of them with one whole wheat hamburger bun, one on each side like an open faced sandwich. You can put mustard or something like that on it if you don't like it plain.

Whenever fresh salmon is on sale we get some and fry it in some olive oil, with parsley. Then it goes on a Kaiser roll with a little bit of cream cheese, some red cabbage, and sweet pickles. Tastes awesome.

During the week I often make a baked potato with a serving of meat and a serving of veggies, followed by Dannon Light and Fit Greek Yogurt.

Xtreme makes a low carb wrap (Walmart) that is pretty good. I like to take 2 slices of Hormel Deli Ham and 2 slices of Sargento Thin Colby Jack, toss in some tomatoes, cucumbers, and lettuce, and wrap it all up like a burrito. I seal the end with cream cheese. Great with a salad!

Zucchinis are very tasty, too! I invested in an $8 spiralizer from amazon and it's a great substitution for actual pasta. You can barely taste the difference. It only needs to cook for about 3 minutes, though. I also like zucchini boats as a side. Cut the zucchini in the middle, so you have 2 long "boats". Add some dried parsley, some grated Parmesan cheese, and drizzle with a little bit of olive oil. Bake at 400 degrees for about 18-20 minutes.

This stuff is amazing for salads. Takes a little bit to arrive, but is worth it. The dill one is slightly sweet and works well with cucumbers.

Other than that, I have a few more complicated recipes. Veggie stew, chicken noodle soup (recipe shared in comments), that kind of stuff.
