How does one make ???

Question

How do you make a cucumber salad?
I thought of using Creamy Cucumber dressing does that sound good or right?
What do you use to make this?

Answer 1

I use 1/2 mayo and 1/2 sour cream,onions,salt and pepper

Answer 2

There are probably many different ways to make this but my grandma used to make my favorite version:

Place desired number of sliced cucumbers in well salted water (it should taste like sea water). Soak for at least 1 hour, up to 3 hours. Drain all of the water and then squeeze out as much liquid from the cucumbers as possible. They will look like less than half of what you started with.

Put cucumbers in a glass bowl and add some all purpose white vinegar (start with a tablespoon, you can always add more), a dollop of sour cream, lots of cracked black pepper and 1/2 of a thinly sliced sweet yellow or red onion, if desired. Stir and taste to see if you would like more vinegar.

I used to LOVE this recipe. My grandpa was always the designated taster to see if there was enough vinegar in the recipe!

Answer 3

There are lots of vegetarian/vegan websites on the internet. Vegweb has a bunch of cucumber salad recipes so just look to see which ones look tasty to you.
