directions

  • In a large bowl mix first 3 ingredients.
  • Peel and slice cucumbers and onion and add to vinegar/water/sugar mix.
  • Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour before serving.
  • If all the cucumbers and onions are eaten reserve the vinegar/water/sugar mix and add fresh cucumbers and onion.
  • My servings are an estimate, as I can eat the whole bowl myself :) The cooking time is actually the refrigeration time.

Reviews

  1. My Mom also added garden tomato wedges. Both ways are delicious!
     
  2. I liked this, I used cider vinegar because I didn't have white. I grew up eating cukes and onions with Good Seasons Italian dressing so this was different for me. I just ate the leftovers here on day 2 and it was better. Yum.
     
  3. These are pretty good ...never had them with sugar before. I like it better without...I guess it's just what you growup with. Thanks anyway.:)
     
  4. My mom made this, too! She always use Apple cider Vinegar, water, sugar, and salt. I grew up to start using red wine vinegar with salt, pepper, and garlic. I put carrots in, too. It's so versatile and cheap!
     
  5. Jazz it up by using applecidar vinegar

  2. My wife added just a touch of salt to enhance the flavors.

We recently moved to Arizona and are enjoying the heat! I have 4 beautiful children, one teenage daughter and three sons. I have always loved to cook, but since finding this site, my husband says "boy has your cooking come a long way!" I had no idea it needed to :) These recipes have added the variety and versatility that I need to try to meet the challenge of feeding four kids on a budget with healthy foods :)
