Cucumber Onion Salad
"Easy tasty salad. I am sure you could add different veggies. I am actually thinking of putting some radishes in it next time I make it. It has a nice tangy taste and it pickles the onions and cucumbers. You can eat it as a side dish or on top of hot dogs on a bun. Yummy!"

Awesome! Very similar to a Korean cuke salad I make (and have posted on Zaar). -
I had a family cookout yesterday and they loved this. Even gave out the recipe. It was so easy to make. This is a keeper. -
Even though I didn't let this sit for a full hour it was delicious. It has a nice light taste with a hint of sweetness. I did substitute Splenda for the sugar and used white wine vinegar. The onion was a red onion and the sesame seeds were omitted. Made for *PAC Spring 2010* -
I love cucumber salads! This was delicious with being weighed down with fattening mayo or sour cream. I did use the optional sesame seeds, but I'm sure it would be just as good without them. I went right in the middle with the amount of sugar...... about 7 tbsps. I love your idea of adding radishes. Thanx for posting!
