Answer 3

Cucumber Salad - the way I love it! :)

Keeping it small, I'd go with this recipe:

1 Cucumber peeled and sliced into 1/8" to 1/4" slices

1 julienned tomato (just slice in half long ways and repeat until about a half inch thickness is achieved)

1 cup white distilled vinegar

1/2 cup vegetable oil

1 tablespoon salt

1 teaspoon dill

1 teaspoon black pepper

Place in air tight container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Overnight is preferable.

Answer 4

cukes,garlic,onions,fresh dill ,plain yogourt..mix all these..season to taste..the amounts of each depends on you..

Answer 5

I slice cucumbers, tomatoes, onion, green pepper, carrots, celery (anything that sounds good.)  Add some Good Season's Italian Salad Dressing, salt and pepper to taste, and toss.  Refrigerate to chill and serve.

Sometimes I take just the cucumbers, tomatoes, onion slices and green pepper.  Mix equal amounts of vinegar and olive oil with a small amount of sugar.  Pour over cucumber mixture, toss, chill, serve.

Answer 6

a version that i make, but its quite simple. you will need cucumbers, distilled vinegar, sugar, pepper, and onions. you cut the cucumbers (peeled or not) into shape as circles. then in a bowl, you add about 1/2 cup distilled vinegar, 3-4 tablespoons sugar, 1/2 of an onion (chopped), and a pinch of pepper. you combine the vinegar mixture with the cucumbers. chilled in the fridge for 10-15 minutes and then enjoy. the sauce should be a bit on the sour side but not too sour. it also can be sweet too. like a sweet pickle taste. hope you'll like it. good luck!
