CUCUMBER ONION SALAD

Cucumber Onion Salad is a fresh and flavorful side dish made with just a few simple ingredients. Sliced onion and cucumber tossed in a tangy vinegar dressing.

ONION OPTIONS:

I strongly recommend using red onions for this recipe. If for some reason that is not an option, sweet onions or scallions will work too.

CUCUMBER OPTIONS:

Use English cucumbers. Slicing cucumbers are too wet and seedy.

ONION PREPARATION:

If you want to soften the onions and create a more mild flavor, soak the sliced onions in the vinegar for 20-30 minutes before preparing the salad.

CUCUMBER SALAD STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS:

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

It is best to prepare this right before serving. If it is left too long, the moisture from the cucumbers will make it slightly soggy.
