Cucumber Salad

[PxKinRea]

What I basically do with big cucumbers.

I would cut it into 1/8 in

add in vinegar, salt, pepper and sit over night.

then enjoy :D

[softgeema07]

[dlaws27]

I made this tonight..it was wonderful..thanks for the recipe.

[dreamer72fem]

@dlaws27 Glad you liked it....it is a great summer salad.

[godseeri]

I made this today and it is FAB! Thanks a lot for the recipe!! <3

[flipgalrn]

I made this tonight and it was great! I added 1tbsp of dill and used 1/4 cup splenda since I'm diabetic and it was perfect!

[silverscreamgrl]

This sounds and looks good. I'd make it with the green peppers for the flavor but totally not eat it. I'd like some carrots in there too.mmm

I would totally put all of the ingredients into a big Ziploc bag to make sure each and every piece is marinated. Then pour it in that bowl.

[lynncrum]

[Serramist]

the receipe sounds really good and now I have to run to the store and get some cukes so I can make it.

[WelakaWombat]

[dreamer72fem]

[dreamer72fem]

@artofbrowneyedgirl You shall have to tell me how you like it.

[1DRock37167]

They look so yummy! I make mine with rice wine vinegar and a lot less sugar and I add dill:-) I have that same bowl and I LOVES it!

HUGS

[dreamer72fem]

@1DRock37167 That bowl is the perfect size for this....use it every time. PLan on making this for cookout time this summer.

[TheChattagirl]

Looks so good !! I used to soak cucumbers in vinegar and salt & pepper..soo good. I will be trying this soon! Have a great weekend !! 

[dreamer72fem]

@TheChattagirl Thanks for watching. Let me know how you like it if you make them:)

[SephoraJunkie]

My mom makes this kind of cucumber salad :) thanks for sharing! I'm going to make it this weekend!

[dreamer72fem]

@SephoraJunkie It is such a refreshing salad.

[GramsandPapi]

That looks yummy! Blessings, Ang

[dreamer72fem]

@GramsandPapi Was really yummy:)

[MultiDiamondSparkle]

It looks good but I think I would cut back on the sugar.....maybe use a bit less.

[dreamer72fem]

@MultiDiamondSparkle It was a nice refreshing salad.

[urielwirthful]

when I worked at Kroger, they sold those huge cucumbers. then again i'm sure most places do

[dreamer72fem]

@urielwirthful We only buy those big ones when on sale....they had them dor a $1 so I was happy. The week before they were like $3...crazy how it changes like that.

[JCWATL]

those must be magnums...

making a syrup out of vinegar and sugar is so good. i would have never guessed vinegar could be good. i found out when my old boss was making sesame chicken, the sauce on the chicken is basically just that.

the final product looks rly good! seems like a lite refreshing snack. :)

[dreamer72fem]

@JCWATL It is a really refreshing salad. Going to make it this summer during cookouts I do believe.

[msjudyf1]

This looks delicious and I am going to get all of the ingredients so that I can make it!

Thanks for sharing the recipe!

[dreamer72fem]

@msjudyf1 Tell me how you like it:)

[maplekanirie]

Looks yummy, but i dont like to eat raw onion because they burn my mouth :(

[dreamer72fem]

@maplekanirie This onion was sooo sweet....not hot at all.

[royalschwarz]

That looks amazing!! I should know better than to watch videos like this before bed. You're makin me drool and now I must have a snack!

[dreamer72fem]

@royalschwarz It was so yummy and refreshing:)

[anmoose]

My mother used to make this when I was a kid, and I loved it. It's one of those old family recipes that fades into the past, and I haven't had it for probably 50 years. Ima gunna make it tomorrow, but without the kondom Koted Kukes. I buy mine nekkid.

(Tempted to add in a *really* thinly sliced chili pepper...)

[dreamer72fem]

@anmoose You shall have to tell me how it is with chilli pepper in it...I know my dad would like that.

[anmoose]

@dreamer72fem,

Reporting back as ordered. :-)

It gets a 10 on the scale of yum. I made a half recipe, since there's only one of me. Variations: I sliced everything paper thin, I used a red bell pepper instead of green, partly for color, and partly because they have a richer taste. And I julienned a jalapeño and a Hungarian wax pepper into the mix. The result is a surprisingly mellow hint of a spicy bite, very tasty, and I won't hesitate to double them next time. And there WILL be a next time.

[dreamer72fem]

@anmoose Oh I bet the red pepper was really good in it....yellow would be good also. I do love the taste of the red and yellow over green...they are just sweeter and richer. If dad ever wants me to make this for a night he has to take a dish to hang with the guys I shall put one in there. Never heard of the other pepper...shall have to look that up. I plan to make this in the summer when we have a cookout...it is such a refreshing salad to me:) Soooo glad you made it.

[anmoose]

@dreamer72fem,

I'll probably not use green with it at all; the taste of the red SO really makes it. I was actually holding both red and yellow in the market and almost bought both, but they were more than I could use. On top of the taste, the added color LOOKS great. Don't be shy with the chilis. The sweetness of the marinade takes a LOT of the heat out of them. I was very surprised.

I'm already getting summer ideas, not just as a side, but as the focus of a meal. Like...

[anmoose]

A bed of Romaine, a good portion of this cradled in it, boiled shrimp on top with a squeeze of lime juice over it all, and you have an elegant summer meal.

And that's just a start...

[livelearnfree]

That looks too good! Going shopping tomorrow and now I have a few things to add to the list. 

[dreamer72fem]

@livelearnfree You shall have to tell me how you liked it?

[WackaDoodleFreeZone]

Stacey that looks yummy. Id love it and so might TJ but you know this is a NO GO for Mr. Solomon. Sometime when we come for our summer picnic get together you will have to make this so I can try it. Thanks for sharing the recipe. HUGS xooxxo

[dreamer72fem]

@WackaDoodleFreeZone PLanning on making this for a cookout day this summer. It is really nice and refreshing.

[ddAdmire]

looks great but a lot of sugar. i make something similar with rice wine vinegar no sugar. cancer and sugar are not a good match so i stay away from sugar. looks so good though.

[Byeonik]

@ddAdmire Why does sugar bother you w/ cancer?

[ddAdmire]

@Byeonik cancers feed off sugars.

[dreamer72fem]

@ddAdmire It was yummy:)

[Freeboy2124]

Looks really good, we use mayo and sugar!!

[dreamer72fem]

@Freeboy2124 I do a creamy cucumbe salad also with the mayo, sugar and milk as the dressing. That is good also:)

[oniichanrikku]

Delicious, my Mom will love it and so do I! :-)

[dreamer72fem]

@oniichanrikku It a nice refreshing salad.

[debbiez112]

Yum I bet it was good.

[dreamer72fem]

@debbiez112 Was really yummy.

[godseeri]

I love this kind of salad! I like the strond vinegar taste. I have never been able to make it good, I just always get it from the deli at the store. I am definatly going to make this! THANK YOU

[dreamer72fem]

@godseeri This is a nice sweet vinegar taste...which I love. Will be a great salad to make this summer during cookout time.

[jasminequeentagaholi]

hugs kisses

[dreamer72fem]

@jasminequeentagaholi It was yummy:)

[SugarInHisBlood]

I love this kinda thing! I prolly would omitt the green pepper though, myself.

I'd deffinately try it with before I took it out.

[dreamer72fem]

@SugarInHisBlood I am going to make this summer during cookout time. A really nice refreshing summer salad.

[royalschwarz]

@dreamer72fem Is that a hint, hint?? LOL!!

[barbiesplasticboobs]

Yum! Looks really good. I'll have to add this to the list of other things I watched you make this afternoon that I want to try my hand at making. I have got to try the bacon dipped in flour thingy! Seriously, it will kill me if I don't.

[dreamer72fem]

@barbiesplasticboobs Dad floured bacon is THE best. Make sure it is thick sliced bacon. We havent had that in awhile...now I want some.

[oopspaw]

wow, that's a lot of work ~ all that slicing!! LOL .. ;D .. yeah for onions that don't make you cry! .. =D .. looks good stacey! well, i don't actually like onions or green peppers BUT i think it still looks pretty! .. =D .. now, how did it taste?

[dreamer72fem]

@oopspaw It was yummy:)

[wildheart5]

The vegetables look so vibrant! Do you have to add two whole cups of sugar of will less do? They look so good. I am going to try them but use Splenda. Thanks Stacey!

[dreamer72fem]

@wildheart5 Tell me how it comes out with splenda.

[islandGAL7]

That looks so good! I fix the cucumber, onion & tomato salad with italian dressing and a little vinegar. : )

[dreamer72fem]

@islandGAL7 Yours sounds good also:)

[susankim51]

That looks interesting. I may have to try it soon. Thanks for sharing. Maybe you can write out the ingredients?

[dreamer72fem]

@susankim51 Put the ingredients in the box:)

[AFateSoTwisted]

That looks so yummy ! I love cucumbers.

[dreamer72fem]

@AFateSoTwisted I cant wait to make this for summer cookout time:)

[PalmOliveSoap]

[dreamer72fem]

@PalmOliveSoap Very yummy:)

[jcshanks]

Honey you sure can slice your veggies thin! I would love to cook with you and the Humper. I love you both.

[dreamer72fem]

@jcshanks *HUGS* How are you doing hon? Have missed ya.

[LitlRuthy]

I'm curious to find out how this tastes. My Dad cuts up cucumbers and puts them in a bowl of vinegar and we eat them like that . This seems the more proper way to do it =)

[dreamer72fem]

@LitlRuthy Hard to explain how they taste..but they are GOOOOOD stuff.

[ninjajessie1]

I love cucumbers...love em!

I get the kind with Condoms too!

I feel all lazy, cuz I just throw ranch on them and say its Cumcumber Salad hahahha

this looks good...bet its tasty tasty~

[dreamer72fem]

@ninjajessie1 It is really tasty. I want to make it this summer for cookout time...am so ready for cookout tme..lol.

[brianthebj]

The ones that come in condoms? LOL. see my finger? watch it? LOL.

[dreamer72fem]

@brianthebj I am a nerd:)

[imperceptibleme]

Now that looked interesting! Seems like a lot of sugar but I bet the apple cider vinegar evens that out. Hugs Stacey!

[dreamer72fem]

@imperceptibleme I though the same with the sugar..but there is a nice balance.

[1970sarteaga]

Those cucumbers look really good. I have not seen those in the "condoms" sold here anywhere I don't think. R those organic & that's y they r wrapped in the "condoms"?

This recipe reminds me of a cucumber salad that my Grandmother used to make & serve all the time @ dinners. Haven't had it or even thought bout it n 4eva! :)

I luv just snackin on sliced cucumbers with lemon or lime juice on them & seasoned with sea salt, fresh ground pepper & cummin...ummm ummm good!!!

LOL @ ur jiggly finger

[dreamer72fem]

@1970sarteaga They are considered burpless cucumbers I think. I loved slightly salted sliced cucumber as a snack.

[1970sarteaga]

@dreamer72fem "Burpless" Cucumbers huh? Hummm Hear bout sumthin new every day don't we??? LoL However I have yet to find a food that doesn't cause me to burp or belch if eaten enuf of it!?!? HA! :-)~

[truckingsonofagun]

lol, comes in there own codoms? funny.i use to swipe my neighbors cucumbers from his garden as a kid, and get a salt shaker from moms kitchen and eat them things all the timei think he knew i was getting them, but i thought i was going to go to jail anyday,lol.looks good stacy,have a good day((smiles))

[misstrixieism]

[dreamer72fem]

@misstrixieism It is yummy...and really good.

[trvlbuggy]

Looks yummy and feels like summer. What do you serve with these? Thanks for the vid.

[dreamer72fem]

@trvlbuggy We usually just put them in a little side bowl with just about any dinner.
