🥒 Cucumber and Onion Salad with Sweet Onion Vinaigrette

Refreshing and inexpensive. I forgot to take a picture until we had already eaten two servings 😋 We enjoyed this with baked beans and a stuffed roasted poblano.
Cooking Instructions
- 1
To make the dressing, begin by squeezing about two tablespoons of chopped onion with a lemon juicer, reserving about 1 tablespoon of liquid in a bowl.
- 2
Whisk in any type of vinegar, salt and any type of sweetener. I used local honey. I also think brown sugar would work really well.
- 3
Add oil(equal to the amount of vinegar used) in a slow steady stream, whisking to emulsify. Or you can use a blender or food processor.
- 4
Set dressing aside. Wash the cucumber, peel and cut in half. If you have guinea pigs they will love the peels : ) I sliced those halves in half to create semi-circles. Slice thinly.
- 5
Add a tablespoon of chopped onion to the sliced cucumber.
- 6
Whisk vinaigrette again and pour over cucumbers and onions. Cover and refrigerate for about 30 minutes.

Simple Tomato & Sweet Onion Salad Simple Tomato & Sweet Onion Salad
Here in Southern California, we're back to al fresco dining weather, and we like to enjoy it as much a possible.One of our favorite al fresco meals is a wine, cheese, and salumi lunch, and this simple tomato salad made specifically with red wine vinegar is one of my favorite accompaniments. You could totally use another kind of vinegar if you like, but there's just something about the flavor of red wine vinegar that I love in this salad. :)If you can get them, sweet onions like Vidalias or Mayan Sweets are ideal. x -
Orange and Sweet Onion Salad Orange and Sweet Onion Salad
I absolutely love the combination of these flavors. I wanted everyone to try it at least once so I uploaded the recipe here!The oranges I used this time were small, so I used one per person, cut it into half and then sliced them into about 7-8 mm. If you have large oranges, cut them into quarters first.If you don't have sweet onions, use regular onions, soaked in salted water or massaged with a little salt to get rid of the harshness. For 2 servings. Recipe by rie-tin cookpad.japan -

Easy Refreshing Sweet Onion and Tomato Salad Easy Refreshing Sweet Onion and Tomato Salad
This is a copycat recipe of the tomato salad that a Genghis Khan (BBQ sliced lamb) restaurant serves. My husband, who does not like fresh tomatoes, loved it. And, he said it was better than the one at the restaurant.If you use sweet onions, they should not be too sharp tasting, but if you'd rather not have any sharpness, soak them in water to mellow the flavor. If you have enough time, chill the tomatoes on a plate in the refrigerator until icy cold, then enjoy. Recipe by Momonoyasashiikaori cookpad.japan -
