Country Cucumber Slaw

Category: Recipes

Ingredients:

3 Large Cucumbers
1 Medium Onion
1 Cup Water
1 Cup Sugar
1 Cup Cider Vinegar

Directions:

Peel cucumbers and onion and slice thin. Toss together. In separate bowl combine water, sugar and vinegar stirring until sugar is completely dissolved. Pour liquid mixture over cucumbers and onions, cover and refrigerate over night. Makes 6 to 8 servings.

Note: Make sure all cucumbers and onions are submerged in liquid mixture when refrigerating. If more liquid is needed just increase water, sugar and vinegar ingredients in equal amounts.

History:

This recipe was handed down to me from my grandmother and has been a family favorite. You can also use the liquid combination of this recipe to make wilted leaf lettuce or spinach salad by adding crumbled bacon and onion pieces with just a touch of the bacon grease and heating it before pouring over lettuce or spinach, let it set just a few minutes and serve.
