 And tonight, we're gonna make a cucumber salad. It's better to have these marinate a little bit, so I'm gonna mix them up before I make supper. I just love fresh cucumbers in the summertime. Let's get started. We've rinsed these and cleaned them up good, scrubbed them good. So now we're just gonna chop them up and I'm gonna show you how to make a very simple good to eat salad with your meal. So I'm gonna take the ends off the cucumbers and we're gonna slice these. You can do it at a time if you got a nice big knife. When I was a young girl, my mom loved this and she always had it made and on the table most of the time because when you live in the country and you got a gardener, you always have more cucumbers than you know what to do with. So it's nice to make salads out of them too. All right, we're gonna take our cucumbers and put them in our bowl and all you're gonna need is sugar, vinegar, oil. We're gonna slice up a few onions real thin too. Let's do that next. All right, I'm gonna slice these really, really thin. Thinner the better for the onion. And it don't take a whole lot of the onion. All right, that's good. Now I usually just slice them in. There's our onion. We're gonna add some sugar. There's probably at least two cuts of cucumber in here. So we're gonna put in a tablespoon of sugar. I'm gonna put in vinegar. I'm gonna put in a tablespoon of vinegar. This is just white vinegar. Take a spoon of oil. I like to sprinkle a little dill weed in mine. Now, if you don't have this spice, it's not required. So don't burn to the grocery store. If you don't have it, just mix it up without it and it'll be fine. This is in my collection of spices, the organic McCormick dill weed. It's really, really good. I think I'm gonna add another tablespoon of oil and vinegar just to get some wetness in there without having to add water. And another tablespoon of sugar. Let's just say for every cut of cucumber, you'll add a tablespoon of sugar, a tablespoon of oil, and a tablespoon of vinegar. Now I'm using olive oil, but you can use whatever kind of oil you want. I'll go ahead and try one. The fort's even marinated. Let's give it a try. Delish, cucumber salad. God love the taste of fresh cucumbers in the summer. Now, if you marinate it in the refrigerator overnight, it's even better. But if you want it to taste real fresh like this, you can make it the night of supper. However you want to do it, or make it at lunchtime and have it at supper. Thanks for watching Colored Valley Cooks, where we cook like mama did.
