Cucumbers and Vidalia Onion Salad is a crunchy, refreshing salad that is tossed with a sweet apple cider vinaigrette and some dill! A delicious salad that is not only light, refreshing and very tasty, but also low in calories and low in fat! A great salad to add to any luncheon or dinner with family and friends.
I remember I was a teenager going to the local deli just to get a container of the cucumber and onion salad. It was so different from the typical Italian salads I always had at our house. Buying this salad at the local deli was such a refreshing treat.
This is one of those easy salad recipes you can make ahead of time, even one or two days. It's a great salad for any season. Give it a try.
HAVE A WONDERFUL THANKSGIVING EVERYONE! .... with lots of laughs and good food!
Cucumbers and Vidalia Onion Salad
- 2 medium Cucumbers - rinsed, sliced 1/8" thick
- 1 large Vidalia Onion - peeled, sliced 1/8" thick
- 1/2 cup Apple Cider Vinegar
- 1/2 cup Water
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp. Black Pepper
- 1/2 tsp Dill Weed
- 1/2 tsp Sugar (Optional)
Slice Cucumbers and onions on the mandolin. The mandolin can save you some time. Otherwise, carefully slice cucumber 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick. Add all ingredients to a bowl, cover with clear wrap and chill for at least one hour before serving.
Makes about 1 and 1/2 quarts.
Serves 6-8
Thanks so much just what I have been surfing around for to add to my Saturday dinner party. Wanted a nice salad that isn't really a big salad, just something nice and refreshing.
