Refrigerator Cucumber Salad
I found this recipe this past summer on Pinterest, Refrigerator Cucumber Salad. I was skeptical, but I love cucumber salad.
My Mom use to make a delicious cucumber salad when I was a kid, using fresh cucumbers from our garden or from the State Line produce market. I remember sitting at the table and eating all I could hold of that delicious salad. I've tried to replicate it, but have not been able. I will need to ask Mom for the recipe. That would be the easiest way, wouldn't it. <grin>
I thought I'd give this a shot. I cut the recipe in half, just in case I didn't like it. THAT was a mistake. This stuff is delicious. After I finished making it, the house smelled so good, and the taste was incredible. I immediately went to the grocery store to buy all the ingredients, so I could make a huge batch of it. My husband, who normally doesn't like this type of food, loved it.
We had a cook out and had several friends over. I'm so glad I made the entire recipe, because it went very quickly. What was left, was packed up for my best friend to take home with her. Back to the grocery store for more ingredients. In fact, there's a container of this salad in my fridge right now! I don't use canning jars, I use a large container with a lid. It's eaten pretty quickly in our house.
