CUCUMBER ONION SALAD
I first tasted this recipe from two ladies in our church. I was 18 in 1975. :D
They taught me new recipes. My mother taught me to cook when I was growing up.
These Ladies were grandmothers who had old recipes. I came to like this one quite well.
It had been years since I had made it, when I came across it again. I started making it about
once a month. :D I usually don't measure my recipes but this one I do.
It is very very good.
INGREDIENTS
2 large cucumbers sliced slightly thick. ( I do not peel mine )
1 large sweet onion, cut in half then sliced fairly thick
1/2 cup white vinegar
1/2 cup water
2 teaspoons of sugar ( or to taste )
1 teaspoon salt ( or to taste ) I use kosher or sea salt
option --- 1 minced garlic ( smash the garlic then chop until very fine )
garlic presses are inexpensive :D
DIRECTIONS
combine vinegar, water, sugar, salt and minced garlic. Stir to dissolve.
Pour over onions and cucumbers.
allow to set at least one hour before serving.
I like mine even better the next day :D
