Cucumber & Onion Salad
Cucumber & Onion Salad
This recipe comes from a good friend. This is an old school salad that was made through the summer months, as you take cucumber and onion out, simply add more back, as easy as that.
Ingredients
- 2 cups cold water
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/8 teaspoon celery salt
- 2-3 fresh cucumbers, peeled and sliced, use 2 first and go from there
- 1 small onion, sliced and separated into rings
Instructions
- Prep the cucumbers and onion, gather the rest of the ingredients.
- Add the cold water, sugar, and vinegar to a container and stir until the sugar is dissolved, add the onion, cucumber, and celery salt, stir to mix together.
- Cover with a lid and place in the fridge for at least two hours before serving. As the contents are used, simply add more cucumber and onion as needed. Serve as a side with any main dish.
Notes
Low cost.
Variants: 1. Use white vinegar in place of apple cider vinegar. 2. Use celery seed in place of celery salt. 3. Add a small amount of fresh chopped dill.
Recipe adapted from Just A Pinch Recipe Club, Amy Herald, and the original recipe is here.

Small amount of dill is excellent as well.
Excellent addition, I will add that in the Variants. 🙂
A slight variation on this is to add several tablespoons of mayonnaise to get a creamy “sauce”.
Thanks for the suggestion, Kurt, never thought about that, sounds good.
