Cucumber & Onion Salad

❀ A recipe featured in Cookpad News and videos, with over 1000 reviews! Made with simple ingredients, it's refreshing and perfect as a side for curry. The origin of this recipe: It's a way to use up cucumbers. I wanted something refreshing, so I used vinegar.

My mother used to make a similar recipe when I was younger. I was never able to get the recipe from her so this is the best recreation of it.

This is a nice, refreshing side dish for a summer meal. I use cucumbers from our garden when possible, but it's just as good with store bought.

I think I am addicted to this as well as other salads. So easy to make, healthy as well. In this photo you will see bits of finely shredded cheese. Ooops, I was making broccoli salad also and accidentally put the cheese, flax seed, sliced cherry tomatoes, and red beans in my onion and cucumber salad. That will teach me, to either keep the two recipes far apart, or only make one at a time 😊. This is my own amount of ingredients.

I made this easy refreshing salad again and again during summer. Even in autumn my husband asks me to make it. It's good just as it is, but I like to add the flavour of freshly ground sesame seeds. I hope you enjoy it.

A recipe from my mom who's from Stuttgart :) German cucumber salad marinates the cucumbers and other veggies in a vinegar-heavy dressing so it's rather tart and super refreshing in the summer. Also no oil so very healthy!

I love cucumber salad but the full fat mayo version has too many calories. So I've created one that uses lighter ingredients but the taste isn't compromised. This is my "go to" side dish for so many meals now made with less guilt!

This creamy macaroni salad has nontraditional crunchy cucumbers with traditional hard boiled eggs and sweet relish. If you dislike celery in your macaroni salad like I do, then you'll love this recipe.

This is one of many versions of my pasta salad. I call this one pizza pasta, so my kids will eat it, if it has the word pizza in it my kids will eat it lol!!! This always disappears quickly , everyone loves it when I bring it to a cookout, bbq, or a family event pot luck.. I like to make this for picnics and short day trips when I take a cooler. This is definitely my go to pasta salad, and so easy and quick.

A nice salad similar to German Potato salad. This salad is about different textures and intense flavor. If adding apples mix in a couple of different ones. Like a Granny Smith apple and one that is sweet. Raisins black and golden. Carrots of the rainbow variety. So many different ways this salad has been eaten over the years. Nuts added including shredded coconut, changes the tempo of the ways it's eaten. I have even put chopped bratwurst or smoked sausage in it instead of bacon. I have always associated, red cabbage with sweet and sour flavors. Even served it with potatoes in it.If you like a sharper tartness about it add apple cider vinegar, or distilled vinegar. The cane vinegar is about as sharp as my youngest granddaughters prefer. Usually I use apple cider vinegar. This one I made for them. They do love the crunchiness of the food they eat.

My Mom used to bring this pasta salad to summer gatherings, birthday parties and family cookouts when we were young. It was always requested! I just added a couple extra things. My Mom approved! ;)

My grandmother taught me this. I started adding in tomatoes because I love tomatoes and instead of just white vinegar I like the red wine vinegar but will use white if that is what I have

Just a salad with great taste and a little tangy kick that I enjoy.

The cucumbers are freshly harvested this morning!

I found a recipe online and I revised it.. as usual.. I figured, I would use the same ingredients as Tzatziki sauce but minus shredding of cucumbers. And added onions.. Enjoy!

I'm addicted to this stuff!!

My recipe is very traditional, I make a homemade dressing with garlic and oregano, garden fresh sliced tomatoes and cucumbers, sweet onions, peppers, Kalamata Olives and Feta Cheese.

I decided not to garden this year. Thankfully, I have a generous neighbor who provides me with the bounty from his. He provides the cucumbers, I provide the salad. Sounds like a good tradeoff to me.Cucumber salad is cold, refreshing, and perfect as a side to any BBQ dish, but perfectly good on its own. A glass of rose doesn't hurt.

This recipe is great for hot days and always a hit at bbqs......good way to use fresh veggies from the garden and very simple to throw together ahead of time :-)

Our local Thai place has a really nice cucumber salad that is very sweet. This is owr version of a cucumber salad that is not as sweet, with a pop of flavor from the pepper. We enjoy this during warmer months with various chicken or pork dishes. And now to find a decent peanut sauce recipe.... 🤔

My mother was the salad maker until I was asked 1 yr, now I am asked for every event. This recipe is not for a family of 3 or less unless you plan to share with friends.

My Moma’n love, loved this salad at one of our local cafeteria style restaurants, when she developed diabetes, she’d still eat it and it would drive her sugar sky high. So, I, being the bestest daughter’n love, started making it for her without the “sugar driver upper”.I took this salad to a church social and it got rave reviews.Hope y’all like it too!

I had 2 cucumbers left from some I'd bought on sale, so I decided to make a salad with them using ingredients I had in the refrigerator that could be served with rice. I don't like spicy food, and neither do my kids, but we all love this salad.If you shabu-shabu the pork in the boiling water it will get tough, so turn the heat off before shabu-shabu (waving it around) in the hot water. For 4 servings. Recipe by Chisora

I love deviled eggs, but only really make them for large get togethers. This egg salad curbs the craving when there are no birthdays or hollidays, and it's easier to throw together.

This is a new version of a Pasta Salad that I make often. The Dressing and Pasta typically remain the same in each alternate recipe, though the vegetables often change depending on my mood or what I happen to have on hand. Feel free to also use this recipe as a base and template, and then sub your favorite vegetables and ingredients. I will also be posting the original version that I make the most often. This new version turned out pretty yummy, so I wanted to go ahead and post it first.

I make this this Chinese salad for my family using simple ingredients.The dressing is enough for two cucumbers, but if you like lots of dressing, make more to use for dipping. It's also great on chicken. Recipe by Komomomomo

The original version was introduced on March 14, 1896. It was created at The Waldorf-Astoria hotel for a charity ball given in honor of the St. Mary's Hospital for Children. The original recipe was just apples, celery, and mayonnaise. Over the years it has evolved into many different ways to prepare and to eat. Here is my version.

This is a simple recipe from my childhood. My stepfather always made this growing up. We ate this as a side dish, as an appetizer, at cookouts,...even as a topper for other foods! He usually only did "Cucumbers & Tomatoes in Italian Dressing" but when I started making it myself in my late 20s I started adding onion because I'm obsessed with them! 😆👌 Then, in my early 30s a good friend made this at her home with the addition of green peppers as she had grown a lot of them that year. So now, my personal recipe has adapted to the inclusion of all of these wonderful foods! I also, play around occasionally with the dressing. 😎👍 This particular time I used a raspberry vinaigrette in place of Italian Dressing & I have also used regular vinaigrettes as well. This is always a nice addition to dinner or the cookout. And even as a midday snack! 👏🤤
