This Cucumber Onion Salad has a perfect balance of cucumber, white onion, sugar and vinegar. The white vinegar is a must — it gives the salad that little bite that just begs you to sneak a few cucumbers right out of the bowl.
This is such a great classic!
It makes for a very easy side salad for a picnic or covered dish event. My mom kept this going in our fridge all summer.
