DAD’S CUCUMBER SALAD (Improved 😉)

Brought To You By 318Central.com ... Submitted By Our Dear Friend, Cathy Humphrey

Dad always made these with our burgers on the grill every summer and we loved them!! In memory of summers with Dad!

Ingredients: 

  • 2 cucumbers, peeled and sliced (I like the 5 small cucumbers because they are bite sized)
  • 1 white onion, sliced into rings (red onion cut rings up to make  them bite sized) 
  • 4 medium tomatoes sliced (thick slices and quartered-again bite sized)
  • 1/3 cup white vinegar (red wine vinegar)
  • 1/4 cup oil (extra virgin olive oil) 
  • ⅔ cup water
  • 3 tbsp granulated sugar
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

 1. Prepare vegetables:

  • 4 Cut tomatoes into thick slices then, quarter them,  
  • Cut onion into rings then cut rings up 
  • Peel and slice cucumbers
  • Put all into bowl and set aside. 

 2. Make Dressing

  • In a bowl, mix vinegar, oil, water, sugar, salt, and pepper.

 3. Pour the dressing over the cucumber, tomato, and onion mixture. Stir well.

 4. Chill: Refrigerate for up to an hour before serving. Can be eaten after an hour but I prefer to let them sit half a day or overnight to give everything a chance to absorb all the combined flavors.  

I guarantee whichever version you use, Dad’s or mine, you will love this summer favorite of our family.
