Dutch Cucumber Salad
"Another recipe from Holland. There was only one resturant near "Drie Bergen" that made this and my Dad use to drive for miles to get some. Tastes a lot like the Japanese cucumber salad. Wonder where they got it? Or is it the other way around."

Delicious. For a variation, I used two English cucumbers instead of 3 regular cucumbers, and seasoned rice vinegar. -
I added sliced sweet onions and relived a dish from my grandmother's table. Truly wonderful! -
Very refreshing, though I just might tone down the sugar a tad next time. Great on sandwiches! -
My Mom always made this and I love it. She added a little onion and olive oil.I make it often when we have a lot of cucumbers in the garden. -
Absolutely wonderful! Made it last night to serve with dinner tonight and my MIL was thrilled; said she hadn't had it in years. I too used an English cucumber and rice vinegar. This is about the easiest side dish you can serve! Next time I will definitely add onion.

I just want everyone to know you CAN NOT SUBSTITUTE THE WHITE VINEGAR WITH CIDER VINEGAR! I thought I had white vinegar on hand, and when I realized I didn't I used cider vinegar and lemon juice. NOT a good decision. It was far too sweet/sour/strange tasting. I *know* if I had used the correct vinegar it would have been exactly what I was looking for. Bummer. -
