• Ready In: 20mins
• Ingredients: 9
• Yields: 6 cups

ingredients

• 1 cup vinegar
• 1⁄4 cup water
• 1 1⁄2 cups sugar
• 1 teaspoon celery salt
• 1 1⁄2 tablespoons salt
• 1⁄2 teaspoon caraway seed
• 3 sliced cucumbers (, about 6 cups)
• 1 sliced onion
• 1 sliced bell pepper

directions

1. Combine first 6 ingredients in saucepan and bring to a boil, stirring so the sugar dissolves.
2. Turn off heat and set aside for about 5 minutes.
3. Slice vegetables and place in large mixing bowl.
4. Pour vinegar mixture over veggies and toss a bit.
5. Layer in a large flat dish (I use my Pyrex 13 by 9 pan) that has a tight fiting lid.
6. Refrigerate, covered, for at least one whole day (but a couple days is even better).
7. Stir every 6 hours or so to be sure all cucumbers get marinaded.
8. Serve chilled as a salad or as a delicious edible garnish.

Super side dish. I served this with Chicken Parmesan, it was the perfect contrast. I let the cucumbers marinate overnight.
