Recipe(tried): Old Fashioned Cucumber Onion Salad

I make this one all the time; nice because you can reuse the brine as you use up the vegetables. A variation when fresh ripe tomatoes are available is to add large diced tomatoes and large diced green bell peppers to the cucumbers and onions: Enjoy, yes serve COLD.

OLD FASHIONED CUCUMBER ONION SALAD

1 cup water
1 cup sugar
1 cup vinegar
1 large Bermuda onion, thinly sliced
3 large cucumbers, peeled, thinly sliced
salt and fresh ground black pepper (to taste)

Mix water, sugar, and vinegar together until sugar dissolves. Add salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste.

Add onion and cucumbers and refrigerate about 3 hours before serving.

When the onions and cucumbers are gone you can save the juice in the refrigerator and add more cucumbers and onions for additional servings.

Servings: 12
