Ingredients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Be sure to see the recipe card below for the full listing of ingredients, instructions, notes, and estimated nutritional information. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Cucumber,<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Cucumbers<\/strong> \u2013 Use whatever type of fresh cucumbers you wish. I find that crisp ones from our garden or farm stand work well. If you prefer fewer seeds, you can use an English cucumber instead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Onions<\/strong> \u2013 Use a sweet onion for this recipe, such as a Vidalia onion or a red onion. After peeling it, you\u2019ll slice the onion into long, thin strips. You can omit the onion if you wish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simple Dressing<\/strong> \u2013 Use apple cider vinegar (or distilled vinegar) and Stone House Seasoning<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Prep the cucumbers and onion<\/strong>. Start by peeling and slicing the cucumber and the onion according to recipe instructions. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Make the dressing<\/strong>. Next, you\u2019ll mix the vinegar and Stone House seasoning to make the dressing by adding them to a large liquid measuring cup or bowl. Whisk well and pour the dressing over the salad.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Refrigerate \/ Serve<\/strong>. Cover and place the salad in the refrigerator for at least one hour before serving. You can also leave it refrigerated overnight to allow the cucumbers to marinate in the dressing even more.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Recipe Variations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    I\u2019ve seen so many versions of this iconic Cucumber Onion Salad. Here are some variations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Adjust the vinegar<\/strong> \u2013 Some adjust the vinegar in the dressing to suit their taste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Add<\/strong> tomatoes<\/strong> \u2013 Add in diced tomatoes (Cucumber, Tomato and Onion Salad<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Use<\/strong> small pickling cucumbers<\/strong> \u2013 Use these small, very crisp cucumbers instead of English or another type.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Add a little sugar<\/strong> \u2013 Sugar is listed as an optional ingredient if you wish to give the salad a sweet and tangy taste. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Storage Tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Keep leftover salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. If you mix the dressing separately, store it in an airtight jar in the fridge for up to 5 days. <\/p>\n\n\n

    \n\n

    Make it Twice!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Keep the dressing for a second batch!<\/strong> After you\u2019ve eaten the cucumbers and onions from the first recipe of this salad, keep the dressing chilled and add more cucumber and onion slices within a day or two for another bowl full! You should have enough dressing to make this twice! <\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n
