VINEGAR CUCUMBER SALAD

This side dish/snack recipe has a lot of meaning to me. We were big cucumber lovers in my family when I was growing up. I have such vivid memories of my Mom fixing supper on nights when she was off work. She would always give us a little something to munch on before dinner. Nothing that would fill us up before we ate but would keep us from bugging her every two minutes about when we would be eating. 

MOM'S RECIPE

My Mom would slice up some cukes, put them in a bowl and add some cold vinegar on top (Mom always kept her vinegar cold) and then she sprinkled it all with a bit of salt. She always kept those vinegar cucumbers on the kitchen counter while making supper.

My whole family would be a walking parade in and out of the kitchen to come get more cucumbers to eat. And my Mom got to make dinner in relative peace since we were temporarily satisfied. It's simple. It's delicious. It's a favorite!

1 long English cucumber, sliced
⅓ cup sliced onion
½ tablespoon table salt (more or less, to taste)
