Mom's recipe for Cucumber Salad with Vinegar is a healthy and easy side dish to pair with any summer meal!

Provided by Blair Lonergan

Categories     Side Dish

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 seedless English cucumbers (or about 3 regular cucumbers), peeled if desired ((about 1.75 lbs. or 6 cups total))
1/2 cup white vinegar or apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup water
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
Chopped fresh dill or chopped fresh parsley, to taste

Steps:

  • Slice cucumbers very thinly and place in a large bowl. I like to use a mandoline to keep the slices even and to make the process very fast, but you can just use a knife if you prefer.
  • In a separate small bowl or in a jar, whisk or shake together vinegar, water, sugar, salt, pepper and herbs. Pour over cucumbers. Cover; chill at least one hour or overnight. Drain cucumbers and serve!
