Cucumber Onion Salad
Description
This Cucumber Onion Salad combines thinly sliced cucumbers and onions with a dressing made from sugar, white vinegar, vegetable oil, salt, and black pepper. The sugar and vinegar create a sweet and sour balance while the oil adds a subtle richness. Chilling the mixture allows the vegetables to marinate, softening the onions slightly and enhancing the overall flavor.
The salad has a crisp texture from the cucumbers paired with the bite of raw onion softened by the dressing. It offers a cool, bright contrast to heavier dishes without overpowering the palate. This comforting side is suitable for picnics, barbecues, or everyday meals.
Store the salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep its crispness and flavor. It keeps well for up to a week, making it convenient for preparing in advance or enjoying leftovers.
