This is a recipe that my Mom has handed down to me and although you may want to "tweak" the measurements, be sure to use the methods and you will be one "Happy Camper!!!" One of the secrets is to slice the veggies VERY thin with a slicer, and to place a plate, weight, on the mixture!!!!!

How To Make summer cucumber & onion salad

Step 1

peel and slice cucumber and onion with a slicer/grater, and combine cukes, onions, salt,vinegar, and sugar in a large bowl.

Step 2

place a plate, or lid on top of ingredients in order to press the veggies down and work out the water from the cukes & onions.

Step 4

Remove from fridge & enjoy some yummy tart cucumber salad!!!!

The MAJOR secret is to slice the veggies very very thin!!!! I use a hand held slicer! You can't achieve the thinness by hand sliciing!!!!
