Today I am choosing a simpler than simple recipe. However, simple things sometimes are the best! And cucumber salad is great. So simple yet so delicious!
To get the best flavor out of this salad, you should let it rest for a couple of hours so that the cucumbers release their water and get marinated in the vinegar, however if you are in a hurry 30 minutes will do the trick.
Ingredients
- 1 large cucumber
- 1/2 red onion
- 1/4 cup white vinegar
- 1/2 tbsp sugar
- 1 pinch salt
- chive
Directions
- Slice the cucumber and the onion as thinly as possible.
- Add the vinegar, the sugar, the salt and the chive and mix well.
- Let rest for 30 minutes or more in the fridge and serve.

I think great minds think alike. I just guest posted something about cucumbers at another blog – tzatziki… LOVE cucumbers, and this sounds really good.

I do a very similar salad and add it to turkey burgers! It’s so refreshing!
Sounds like the kind of salad my mom always loved – she was big on cucumbers, me not so much. I’ll have to pass the recipe on to her!

One of my favorite salads and it makes me think of summer! I’ve even cheated before and used splenda rather than sugar, and no one knows the difference!
