Ingredients

The following ingredients have 9 Servings
  • 2 fresh cucumbers
  • 1 sweet onion
  • 3/4 cup white vinegar
  • 1/3 cup cold water
  • 1 cup ice cubes
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 teaspoons dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon celery seeds
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt

Instruction

  • Prepare onions and cucumbers by cutting in half, and then thinly slicing. It is perfectly acceptable to use a food processor for this step! If using local cucumbers (or English cucumbers) do leave the skin on.
  • Combine the sliced cucumbers and onions with the rest of the ingredients in a dish with a tight-fitting lid. Toss a few times with a spoon to separate slices and distribute spices. Then close, shake a few times, and place in the fridge for at least an hour or two. Feel free to give a good shake, or simply invert, whenever you open the fridge and see it sitting there.
  • Serve with a slotted spoon.
