Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Refreshing Cucumber and Onion Salad.
Step 1
Begin by placing your sliced cucumbers in a colander and generously sprinkling them with salt.
Step 2
Let them rest for about 15 minutes, allowing the salt to draw out their natural moisture.
Step 3
Once they’ve released some water, rinse the cucumbers thoroughly to wash away the excess salt.
Step 4
In a spacious serving bowl, mix the drained cucumbers with sliced onions and, if you like, some diced green bell pepper for a pop of color and crunch.
Step 5
For the dressing, whisk together sugar, vinegar, celery seed, and a pinch of salt in a medium bowl until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Step 6
Drizzle the dressing over the cucumber medley and gently toss everything together until each piece is beautifully coated.
Step 7
Enjoy this refreshing dish that’s perfect for summer gatherings or as a crisp side to any meal.
