Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 white onion (sliced very thin)
  • 1 cucumber (sliced very thin)
  • salt
  • water
  • white vinegar
  • light vegetable oil (like light olive oil, grapeseed oil, or safflower)
  • ½ cup sour cream (or more to taste, optional)

Instruction

  • Place sliced onions and sliced cucumbers in layers alternately, salting each layer well. Cover with cold water and place in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
  • Remove the bowl of cucumbers and onions from the fridge, and place the cukes and onions in a colander; rinse with cold water running tap water. Drain well.
  • Marinate the cucumbers and onions again in equal parts (to cover) water, vinegar, and oil. I like to start with ½ cup of each of the water, vinegar, and oil , and see how much more I need. Cover the bowl, and refrigerate 1 hour.
  • Remove from the fridge, and rinse well again under cold running tap water. Drain well. Add ½ cup sour cream, and mix well. Check to see if you’d like more sour cream for a creamier salad. Place salad back in the fridge until ready to serve. Serve cold.
