Old-Fashioned Cucumber Salad

This recipe has been in our family for years. My mother & her mom used it; now I use it and have passed it on to Alissa. Now it’s time we share it with our Cherished Cottage Family- I hope you enjoy! 

Ingredients:

  • 3-4 large cucumbers*
  • 1 large red onion
  • 1 cup mayo
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1/3 cup white vinegar
  • 1/2 cup milk

Directions:

  1. Cut cucumbers into thin slices (if you don’t like the skin, peel them before slicing), set aside.
  2. Dice up onion & set aside with the cucumber.
  3. In a large bowl mix mayo & sugar, let sit for about 3 minutes.
  4. Add vinegar to sugary/mayo mix & stir again.
  5. Finally, add the milk & stir. The dressing should be thin but not watery looking.
  6. Stir in cucumbers & onions.
  7. Chill for at least an hour

Enjoy!

*If you don’t want cucumber with a lot of seeds try getting English cucumber from your supermarket.

Cherished Cottage began as a dad who wanted to make sure his daughter’s had ornaments on their Christmas tree. As our family grew, we combined interests in crafts, cooking, and all things DIY to create our store and ultimately this blog!

We hope you enjoy following along as we share our passions with you.
