So good! This reminds me of cucumbers and red onions marinated in olive oil and vinegar, but much healthier! Love it. Thanks! -
This one brings back enjoyable memories of my mom preparing cucumbers much like this! Understand, the prep time isn't the work time needed, so this dish actually is put together rather quickly! VERY NICE! [Tagged, made & reviewed for one of my adopted chefs in this Spring's Pick A Chef] -
I have a recipe for marinated cucumbers but you have to drain and serve the same day. This recipe is fantastic!! I simply followed the instructions but before adding the marinade I put in thinly sliced red (or white) onion, fresh dill and very thinly sliced, on an angle, celery. This recipe allows you to have marinated cucumbers for 2 to 3 days depending on family size. Plenty of liquid so feel free to use two cucumbers. The best was the days of snacking from the bowl everytime I went to the fridge. Soooooo good!!! -
Just the right balance of sweet, salt, and vinegar, these rate a "nummy" from this lifelong lover of marinated cukes. Easy to make with clear instructions and simple ingredients. Made for Pick A Chef, April 09. -
Positively the best marinated cucumbers I've ever eaten. These were also the first ones that my DH liked enough to eat and actually have seconds. This will become my go-to recipes for marinated cucumbers from now on. How wonderful! Made for PAC spring 2013.
