Marinated Cucumber Salad

August 21, 2018 By Rachel

If you’ve been anywhere near the south in the summertime I’m sure you’ve seen this classic – cucumber salad!  It’s a southern staple and served as a delicious summer side dish.  For the base all you need is cucumbers, vinegar, sugar, and a little salt.  The onions and tomatoes are totally optional but make wonderful additions!

This dish takes just a couple minutes to come together and then after a few hours in the fridge you have crunchy, cold, tangy veggies that perfectly compliment most summer meals!  They’re a great, light side dish for BBQs and potlucks too.

As I mentioned before, the tomatoes and onions are optional but I think the combination of these three veggies tastes like the epitome of summer. SO GOOD!  There’s nothing better than cracking open a jar of theses addictive cucumbers!  They’ll last about three days in the fridge – any longer and the cucumbers will start to soften.

Leave a comment below and let me know your favorite way to eat these babies!  We love it as a side to grilled chicken, burgers, bbq pork, pinto beans, you name it!  Makes 6 servings at 1 WW SmartPoint on both the Blue and Green WW plans.  Enjoy!

PS – Some people like to use apple cider vinegar and red onions  – both of these are yummy alternatives!
