Cucumber Salad
Vinegar, sugar, salt and onion add gentle, versatile flavor to this quick-and-easy cucumber salad recipe. All it takes is a few extra minutes of marination time to soften the bite of the onions and help the tangy seasonings infuse every bite of cucumber. Pair the salad with grilled hot dogs or pork chops in summertime, or serve as a cool contrast to roast chicken or poached salmon in colder months. Feel free to make this up to a day ahead and store it in the fridge—the salad will only get tangier and more delicious as it sits.
