Even though it requires sitting overnight, this recipe is so easy to make. My mother made this all the time when I was growing up--it was one of her favorites and also my sister's. One caution: this salad should be very creamy, so you may need to adjust the dressing ingredients accordingly. Recipe & photo: recipes.wikia.com

How To Make cucumbers and onions

  • Step 2
    In the morning, drain the cucumbers and rinse; let dry on paper towels.
  • Step 3
    Slice the onions thin and mix gently with the cucumber slices.
  • Step 4
    In a small bowl, beat together the mayonnaise or salad dressing, sugar and vinegar until creamy.
  • Step 5
    Stir into the mixed cucumbers and onions.
  • Step 6
    This dish should be creamy, so the dressing may have to be doubled if not creamy enough.
  • Step 7
