SIMPLE CUCUMBERS AND ONIONS RECIPE - FOOD.COM



Simple Cucumbers and Onions Recipe - Food.com 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.

Total Time 2 hours 15 minutes

Prep Time 15 minutes

Cook Time 2 hours

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!
