GRANDMA'S CUCUMBER AND ONION SALAD



Grandma's Cucumber and Onion Salad image

Both of my grandmothers made this salad every summer when their gardens produced baskets of cucumbers. It's a cool, fresh side dish for any meal. One of my grandmas omitted the green pepper and the celery seed. She also put ice in it to chill it quickly and cut the vinegar taste.

SIMPLE CUCUMBERS AND ONIONS



Simple Cucumbers and Onions image

My mom always had a bowl of this in the fridge during the summer, and now I do too! My mom sliced her cucumbers and onions in cold salt water for a few hours first, but I usually do not. I do not notice difference when they are not soaked. Instead of peeling the cucumbers completely, I leave a few stripes of green to add color to the salad. Note: Cooking time includes time to chill salad before serving.

Categories     Vegetable

Time 2h15m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 -3 medium cucumbers, sliced very thin
1 medium onion, cut in half and thinly sliced
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1/3 cup vinegar
1/2 cup sugar

Steps:

  • Combine oil, vinegar, and sugar in a medium to large bowl (big enough to hold all completed salad). Stir until sugar is dissolved (Note: You can heat the dressing to help keep it from separating. It is not necessary, but I do if I have time. If you heat the dressing, be sure to cool it before adding to cucumbers).
  • Add cucumbers and onions to dressing. Toss to coat veggies.
  • Cover and chill at least 2 hours before serving. The longer it chills, the better it gets!
