Summer Cucumber Salad

This salad always reminds me of summertime! It is one of my dad's favorite things, so I remember my mom making this for nearly all our summer barbecues. I remember my mom initially making this with equal parts white vinegar, apple cider vinegar, and sugar. I only used apple cider vinegar for my recipe and omitted the sugar. However, you can play around with ingredients to fit your liking! It is an easy salad to put together that you can have as a snack or throw on a salad or burger/sandwich. I love throwing this on top of mixed greens with green peppers, feta, and olives for a variation of a Greek salad (pictured below). 

INGREDIENTS

  • 3-4 medium/large cucumbers, sliced

  • 1 red onion, thinly sliced

  • 1/2TBS Himalayan sea salt

  • 1TBS fresh chopped dill

  1. Combine all ingredients into a bowl and mix well. 

  2. Refrigerate for about 24 hours and enjoy!
