Creamy Cucumbers And Onions Recipes

CREAMY CUCUMBERS AND ONIONS

Steps:

• Peel cucumbers and slice thin. Layer in shallow dish, sprinkling each layer with salt. Let stand overnight. In the morning, drain cucumbers and rinse. Let dry on paper towels. Slice onions thin. Mix gently with cucumber slices. Beat together the mayonnaise or salad dressing, sugar and vinegar until creamy. Stir into mixed cucumbers and onions (The dressing should be plentiful so the salad is creamy. Increase amounts of dressing ingredients, proportionally, if needed).
