Grandma's Cucumber Salad
Description
This salad relies on thin slicing of cucumbers and other vegetables to ensure they become tender and flavorful during marination. The vegetables are combined with a mixture of white vinegar, cold water, sugar, salt, black pepper, and smashed garlic, which acts as the dressing.
Refrigerating the salad for at least six hours or overnight allows the flavors to meld deeply and softens the vegetables without losing crunch entirely. The salad offers a bright, cooling side dish with a balance of sweet and sour notes and aromatic garlic.
It can be served chilled as a refreshing accompaniment to heavier meals, especially during warm weather or alongside fried and grilled dishes.
