Sliced Cucumber Salad

Sliced Cucumber salad was a staple of mine when going up.  All of my family had huge gardens.  cucumbers were one of the most plentiful crops we had.  These “refrigerator pickles” were on the table at dinner most every night.  This is a great side dish, and is very low calorie.  You can sweeten with Splenda if you desire.  You can also let the cucumbers sit in this mixture for about 12 hours, drain, and then combine with sour cream.

3 cucumbers sliced thin
1 C. sugar
1 C. vinegar
1/2 onion sliced thin
1 tsp. vegetable oil
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
Placed cucumbers and onion into a bowl. In another bowl mix together combine sugar, vinegar, vegetable oil, salt, and pepper. Pour liquid over sliced cucumbers and onions. Store in an air tight container. Refrigerate a couple of hours before serving. These will keep for a week in the refrigerator.
