Description

This Cucumber Onion Salad showcases the crispness of fresh cucumbers and the sweetness of onions, combined with a tangy dressing, making it an ideal choice for a quick, healthy meal that’s bursting with flavor.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 mini cucumbers
  • 1/4 large sweet onion
  • 3 tablespoons white vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Slice the cucumbers into thin rounds and the sweet onion into very thin slices. Combine the veggies in a large bowl.
  2. In a small bowl, mix the white vinegar, granulated sugar, red wine vinegar, salt, and pepper. Adjust the dressing to your taste for sweetness or tanginess.
  3. Pour the dressing over the sliced vegetables and toss to coat evenly. For best flavor, let the salad marinate for at least one hour before serving.

Notes

For a spicier kick, add some chopped jalapeños to the mix.
You can substitute the sweet onion with a red onion for a bolder flavor.
This salad pairs wonderfully with grilled meats or as a side dish.
