Cucumber Salad
This year my cucumber plant is producing like crazy. Everyday there are at least 4 new cucumbers emerging. This translates to having at least two large cucumbers to eat for lunch or dinner. One of my family favorites is cucumber salad. It is so super simple to make and tastes fantastic! Here's the recipe:
2 large cucumbers
1 medium onion
(Optional: add sliced tomatoes. I did because I had some that needed to be used).
1 cup white vinegar
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon celery salt
salt and pepper to taste
Thinly slice the cucumbers and onion with a mandolin. (If you don't have one, you really need to get one! It makes quick work of slicing anything. Just remember to use the safety piece so you don't slice up your fingers).
Put these in a large bowl.
Mix the vinegar, sugar, celery salt, salt and pepper. Pour this mixture over the cucumbers and onions. Toss to coat.
Refrigerate for several hours or overnight (the longer it soaks, the better).
That's it! Told you it was super simple!
