Grandma's Cucumbers
Do you remember the cucumbers that Grandma had on her dinner table
during the summertime? She would serve them in her traditional green
cut glass serving bowl--sliced cucumbers and onions from her garden in
that creamy white sauce, and nobody could get enough! So here's
Grandma's cucumber salad recipe, a sure hit with everyone I've served it to.
Ingredients:
(Increase proportionally if you want more dressing)
1 cup mayonnaise
1 cup white vinegar
1 1/2 cups sugar (don't scrimp!)
1/2 cup milk
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon celery seed
Onions (as desired), peeled and sliced in half-rings
Cucumbers (as desired), peeled and sliced
(NOTE: If you want to be fancy, score the peeled cucumber with a table
fork before slicing)
Method:
Put mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar, and garlic powder in a bowl. Whisk it
together thoroughly. Then whisk in milk. Add sliced onions and
cucumbers to the dressing, and stir together. Sprinkle celery seed on
the top, and gently mix in. It works best to refirgerate overnight
before serving, allowing everything to marinade together.
NOTE: I make the mixture in a Tupperware-type bowl. As the cucumbers
and onions are consumed, I'll add more cucumbers and onions and celery
seed to the left-over dressing. You can keep doing this until the
dressing starts to lose its "zip."
