![]() ![]() It is really about personal preference for salt. We will give you guidelines and you can adjust as you see fit. Salt is one of those things that is very subjective with people. Regular table salt, also known as iodized salt, can be too salty and sometimes can affect the taste. We recommend using Kosher salt or Sea Salt. Salt is the star of just about every dish you make. Feel free to adjust the amount of sugar to your liking. Sugar helps to cut the acid of the vinegar. You can use white sugar or Organic Cane sugar. Dill is not a potent herb but it adds a hint of fresh flavor to the dish. I like to keep fresh dill growing in my AeroGarden on my kitchen countertop to use in dishes such as this or fish dishes. Traditional pickles will have dill weed as the dill pickle flavor. So if you use 1 cup of vinegar, I like to use 1 cup of water. I like to cut the vinegar half in half with water. Both will alter the flavor slightly but will work as well. You could use apple cider vinegar or red wine vinegar if you wish. I like to use white vinegar when I make this dish. Don’t let the onion choice stop you from making this dish though. My last choice would be white onion if I couldn’t find the other two varieties. Red onions tend to have a sharper bite to them. My second choice would be red onion as It gives the dish a strictly beautiful contrast of color. These are typically seasonal, at least the true Vidalia onions are. I like to use sweet onions, such as a Vidalia Onion. ![]() ![]() If you do not grow your own, try searching out a local farmers’ market or produce stand in your area. If you are growing your own, you know how you tend to get a lot at one time. Fresh cucumbers tend to have the best flavor right out of the garden. I suggest using fresh, vine-ripe regular cucumbers. Recipe Ingredients- What you will need to make this Marinated Cucumbers, Onion, & Vinegar Recipe. Below we will go over all the ingredients we like to use for the best results for this simple recipe. You could stop right there and you would have an easy cucumber salad recipe, but we like to add in a few fresh herbs to heighten the flavor. Cut up a sweet onion and add a little bit of sugar to help cut the acid in the vinegar and you have the basic recipe. The sweetness of the fresh cucumbers combined with the tart and acidic nature of the white vinegar. It gives you another option to use up all those fresh crisp cucumbers you have coming off the vines. There truly aren’t many things better on a hot summer day. ![]()
