Old Fashioned Cucumbers and Onions in Vinegar

Kelly Jensen
This Old Fashioned Cucumbers and Onions in Vinegar dish is an old family recipe, and our go-to summer salad for BBQs, potlucks, and parties in the summer. It's bright, fresh, and loaded with fresh herbs and flavor. A great recipe for garden cucumber and homegrown herbs.

  • 1 medium red onion thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup fresh chopped dill

  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/3 teaspoon Sea Salt
  • Black Pepper

Instructions
 

  • Peel (if desired) and thinly slice the cucumbers. Place them in a large bowl.  Add the red onions, and mix well.
  • To the bowl, add the vinegar, sugar, olive oil, salt and pepper, and the fresh dill. Mix well to combine all ingredients together.
  • Cover, and refrigerate for a 2-3 hours, or overnight if you can.  Remove cucumber salad from the fridge an hour or two before serving, so the oil incorporates well into the salad.
