Mama's Cucumber Salad



Growing up, I remember my mother and grandmother making this a lot.  It is a very simple dish that is very quick and easy to assemble.

To make this dish you will need two cucumbers, half of an onion, salt, pepper, white vinegar and water. Grape tomatoes are optional. I had some, but they were gobbled up before I could make the salad!


Layer the onions and cucumbers in a large bowl. Add salt and pepper every couple of layers.


Cover with a mixture of water and vinegar. How much you dilute the vinegar depends on your preference. I did almost half water, half vinegar, having a little more vinegar than water.

I hope you enjoy the recipe!

Until we meet again, may you be blessed.

  1. Do you drain the water/vinegar? Or you just eat it wet?

    1. That's a great question! We just scoop the cucumber slices and onions out leaving the liquid behind as you would do with pickle slices. If the vinegar is too strong for your tastes, it can be diluted with more water. :)
