Ingredients For cucumber salad

  • 7 c
    cucumber, sliced thinly (usually 3-4 cucumbers)
  • 1
    onion, sliced thinly
  • 1
    bell pepper, sliced thinly
  • 1 Tbsp
    salt

How To Make cucumber salad

  • 1
    Add sliced cucumbers to a large bowl, stir in salt. Set aside while cleaning and cutting pepper and onion. Letting them sit will bring out juice that will add to the marinade.
  • 2
    Add sliced peppers and onions to the cucumber mixture. Using clean hands, incorporate ingredients well.
  • 3
    In a separate bowl, mix sugar, celery seed, & apple cider vinegar. Stir until sugar is mostly dissolved. It will be thick.
  • 4
    Pour sugar mixture over the cucumber mixture. Combine well.
  • 5
    Refrigerate overnight or at least six hours prior to serving. The salad is complete when the liquid rises to the top of the bowl.

    Tip: Taste one slice from each cucumber to ensure they're not sour. One sour cucumber can ruin the whole salad!
