Cucumber Salad

Ingredients:

Advertisement


• 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.
