Cut cucumbers up and layer in a plastic container. Sprinkling each layer of cucumbers, liberally with salt. Let cucumbers sit for 30-60 minutes at room temperature. Strain all the liquid from the cucumbers when ready. (We call this sweating the cucumbers. It helps to draw out any bitterness that the cucumbers may have.)

Place cucumbers and all other vegetables together in a plastic container. Pour vinegar mixture over everything thing. Season with cracked black pepper and dill weed. No need to add any more salt. Keep salad refrigerated. Serve well chilled. Tastes even better the next day. Enjoy. Note: If using dried dill weed, only use 1/4 teaspoon.

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.

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 salad is very simple to prepare, but it has a rich flavor, is very refreshing, and is the perfect complement to breaded, grilled, or fried beef, chicken, or pork.

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.... 🤔

When I was little my mom and I would go to a Korean market where they made cucumber salad. This is my version of it. Still haven't been able to get that childhood taste but it is still great!

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! 👏🤤
