Still looking for the recipe for serving fresh cucumbers......?

Question

I need the ingredients and measuring for fresh cucumbers and onions, that the ingredients might just be vinegar,water,sugar and salt, that the cucumbers and onions are sliced and soaked in this mixture then served. Is there someone that might know this recipe and share it with me?

Answer 1

Would this be it? I picked it up from an Irish chef, Darina Allen:

Sweet Cucumber Salad

About 1/2 a medium cucumber
2 oz onion, very thinly sliced into rounds or crescents
2 oz white sugar
1 1/2 fl oz white wine vinegar
1 1/4 salt and pepper

Slice the cucumber as thinly as possible, leaving the skin on. Place in a large bowl; add the other ingredients. Stir together, cover and marinade for at least one hour.

It is delicious served with fish, especially warm smoked salmon. I have many times heaped it into jars and given it as a present! You can also have it with cheese sandwiches, just like a pickle.

(The cucumbers will yield a lot of tasty liquid, so you don't need to use water.)

Answer 2

I don't measure I just toss it in a bowl cucumbers I like mine peeled some red onion balsamic vinegar salt (lots) pepper and garlic powder and a couple of teaspoons sugar (not too much) then just let it sit in the fridge for at least an hour.If I'm out of Balsamic I substitute white wine vinegar.Enjoy!

Is this what you are looking for?

Ingredients:

Directions:
Mix together in a bowl and chill before serving. Feel free to modify the amount and type of vinegar to suit your sweet & sour tastes.

Answer 4

I make this but I don't have measurements for you, I make my soaking solutions by taste using vinegar, water, sugar and salt. Just mix about equal amounts of vinegar and sugar in a bowl add some water, stir, taste, adjust to what you are looking for. I also grind in some fresh black pepper in mine. My kids don't like this dish but my husband and I do.
