Cucumber Salad
Today I thought I'd share THE recipe my niece requests all summer long. Cucumber Salad is a super easy old-fashioned recipe with simple ingredients that you can adjust in quantity and taste until your heart's content!
Ingredients
- 2 cucumbers peeled and sliced
- 1/2 cup onion slices or a bunch of green onions chopped
- 1 cup vinegar
- 1/2 cup sugar or sugar substitute
- 1/4 cup cold water
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Mix together 1 cup vinegar, 1/2 cup sugar and 1/4 cup cold water in a large serving dish.
- Add in 2 cucumbers (peeled and sliced) and 1/2 cup onion slices
- salt and pepper to taste and refrigerate until serving.
Notes
This is a VERY sour version of this old-fashioned recipe. Grandma’s original recipe was 1 part vinegar, 2 parts sweet (sugar or sugar substitute) and 3 parts water. If you don’t know how strong you want your pickles, you could always start there.
