Sweet Onion & Cucumber Salad
Made this tonight, starting with a recipe in a Jewish cookbook and then adapting it a bit.
Delicious, easy-to-make cold salad, good with sandwiches, as a side dish, or even as a whole dinner (double-servings). Recipes makes enough for 3.
Sweet Onion & Cucumber Salad
Ingredients
2 cucumbers
1 large sweet onion
salt (to taste)
6 tbsp. (90 mL) cider vinegar
3 tbsp. (40 mL) water
2-3 tbsp. (40 mL) minced fresh dill -or- 1 tbsp. (15 mL) dried dill
3 tbsp. (40 mL) sugar
handful raisins
Directions
1. Slice cucumbers thin. No need to peel.
2. Slice onion thin. (Yes, peel.)
3. Mixed cucumbers in onions in a bowl. Toss in some salt, to taste, then leave bowl for 10 minutes. (Salt brings out the juiciness.)
4. Mix sugar, dill, and raisins, then mix in with veggies.
5. Pour vinegar and water into bowl and mix.
6. Serve cold.
Mmm!
