Simple Cucumber Salad

Recipes »  Salad  »  Vegetable Salads

This simple salad is nothing more than slices of cucumber, a good splash of mild vinegar, a little suagr and salt. It's simple, refreshing, and delicious, especially with homegrown cucumbers.

"I make this a lot but I add chopped red onion some chopped fresh dill to taste and a little oil of choice. I substitute agave syrup for the sugar. I have also added fresh chopped dragon fruit. The contrasting colours look so pretty and the fruit isn't too sweet. I give this a 5 star with the added ingredients " - Bonnieblack55

    Not what I would think of as a salad but it is a good side to a dish. I've had Vinegar Cucumbers before and the vinegar was over powering, not on this recipe. I like it.

    I added a little extra sugar and only let it marinate for about 4 hours. The timing was perfect as the cucumbers were still a little crunchy. The vinegar in this dish was a nice way to cut the richness of the other dishes.

    Simple but tasty. Didn't have any red wine vinegar so use balsamic but still came out good.

    I make this slightly different. Slice a Lebanese cucumber very thinly, add a little salt cover with water, add the juice of half a lemon and then add 1 to 2 desert spoons of sugar, stir until sugar resolves. Refrigerate until needed

    absolutely wonderful, crisp, cool, refreshing.Great for hot months.
