Dutch Cucumber Salad

Nine 1/2 fingers's Note:

Another recipe from Holland. There was only one resturant near "Drie Bergen" that made this and my Dad use to drive for miles to get some. Tastes a lot like the Japanese cucumber salad. Wonder where they got it? Or is it the other way around.

• Total Time: 45 mins
• Prep Time: 15 mins
• Cook Time: 30 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 8

• 2 -3 large cucumbers
• 8 -10 ounces white vinegar (Japanese seasoned sushi vinegar can also be used)
• 3 -5 tablespoons sugar
• 1 -2 thinly sliced onion

Directions:

1. Wash and peel cucumbers.
2. Slice or cut in rounds as thin as possible cukes & onions.
3. Place in bowl and cover with vinegar.
4. Add 3-5 heaping tablespoons of sugar, Mix well.
5. Chill and serve.
6. This is better if you let it sit in the fridge covered overnight. Actually. if allowed to mellow for 2 or 3 days -- in a tightly sealed jar in the refrigerator -- JAR TURNED UPSIDE DOWN 1 day & turned right side up the next.

Delicious. For a variation, I used two English cucumbers instead of 3 regular cucumbers, and seasoned rice vinegar.

I added sliced sweet onions and relived a dish from my grandmother's table. Truly wonderful!

Very refreshing, though I just might tone down the sugar a tad next time. Great on sandwiches!
