Reviews
- My Mom also added garden tomato wedges. Both ways are delicious!
- I liked this, I used cider vinegar because I didn't have white. I grew up eating cukes and onions with Good Seasons Italian dressing so this was different for me. I just ate the leftovers here on day 2 and it was better. Yum.
- These are pretty good ...never had them with sugar before. I like it better without...I guess it's just what you growup with. Thanks anyway.:)
- I've been looking for years for a good recipe for cucumbers and onions. I love this one. The only thing I did differently was omit half of the water.
- My mom made this, too! She always use Apple cider Vinegar, water, sugar, and salt. I grew up to start using red wine vinegar with salt, pepper, and garlic. I put carrots in, too. It's so versatile and cheap!

We recently moved to Arizona and are enjoying the heat! I have 4 beautiful children, one teenage daughter and three sons. I have always loved to cook, but since finding this site, my husband says "boy has your cooking come a long way!" I had no idea it needed to :) These recipes have added the variety and versatility that I need to try to meet the challenge of feeding four kids on a budget with healthy foods :)
