I grew up eating this salad and love it. It's a bit different than most North American cucumber salads I've seen as there is no sour cream in it, only a simple oil and vinegar dressing. Usually it's been made using only cucumbers but sometime cooked green and/or yellow beans and/or tomatoes are added. The quantity of oil and vinegar dressing may need to be adjusted if additional veggies are used.
Ingredients:
2 english cucumbers, sliced very thin
1/4-1/2 red onions or 1/4-1/2 white onion, diced
cherry tomatoes, halved (optional)
green beans, cooked until tender crisp (optional)
3 tablespoons salad oil
1 -2 tablespoon vinegar or 1 -2 tablespoon salata seasoned vinegar
1 pinch salt
fresh ground pepper, to taste
sugar, to taste (optional)
Directions:
1. Place sliced cucumbers, chopped onions and other veggies if using in a large bowl.
2. In a small bowl, whisk salad oil, vinegar, salt and pepper together.
3. Pour dressing over cucumbers and mix well.
4. Adjust seasonings and add a bit of sugar if needed.
