Cucumber and Onion Salad with a Vinegar Dressing. Simple. Easy. Delicious.
Donna’s Cucumber and Onion Salad is perfect for a picnic or carry-in lunch.
Cucumber Onion Salad in a Vinegar Dressing a brilliant way to eat your garden produce.
My mom’s Cucumber and Onion Salad is one of my favorite ways to eat cucumbers. Right now, in the height of cucumber season, we have a lot of them. This is a simple salad that you can make in less than 15 minutes. And the dressing for this salad is tasty on other salads, especially leaf lettuce based salads.
I love cucumbers. In salads. On sandwiches. Alone. And they are pretty darned nutritious. Take a look at what Nutrition Data says about cucumbers. Cucumber and Onion Salad was a regular summer salad at our house.
Mom’s Recipe
Donna, my mom, was a natural cook. When I asked her how to make something, she would say, “Oh, you know…a little of this and a little of that.” I had to watch closely to figure out how to make Mom’s recipes. This salad is perfect for picnics and potlucks (or as they call them in Virginia, carry-ins) since it doesn’t use mayonnaise. The dressing is vinegar based, and it keeps well.
