Cucumber Salad
This is one of my most requested summer recipes for picnics or pot lucks! It keeps well for at least 4 weeks in the fridge.
Ingredients:
- 8 - 12 medium cucumbers* peeled, sliced thin or large dice
- 1 cup sliced or diced onion
- 1 cup chopped celery
- 1 green or red pepper, sliced or diced
Dressing
- 2 cups white sugar
- 1 cup vinegar**
- 1 tsp. celery seed
*I like to use the big English cucumbers and only partially peel them, It takes about 5 large ones.
**Vinegar choice here changes flavour, I prefer white but cider is also good.
Directions:
Mix vegetables and sprinkle with 1 Tbsp. of salt. Stir well and let stand for about 1 hour. Drain off liquid.
Mix dressing ingredients. Stir until sugar dissolves. I usually bring dressing mixture to a boil as it speeds up the process - but doesn't have to be. Pour over vegetable mixture. Cover and store in fridge.
