Cucumber Onion Salad
My mother used to make a salad similar to this when I was growing up. She added more vinegar and she also added sugar. I may get my Southern Girl rights revoked by saying that I am not a fan of adding sugar to some traditional dishes that Southern Cooks add sugar to. Cornbread for example. My daughter actually prefers the sweet yellow cornbread (I call it the JiffyMix or School Lunch Cornbread lol). My sister adds sugar to her Fried Corn and Coleslaw which are always delicious. Anyway, if you are a fan of adding sugar, you can add a pinch or more than a pinch to this salad if you prefer. You could also add a little Italian Seasoning or Dried Dill. I hope you enjoy!
