One of my neighbors gave me a bag of cucumbers this week so I decided to make this cucumber salad recipe that I'd seen on Pinterest. I did it as the recipe called for but I have altered it a bit because I thought the vinegar was too strong. This is my altered version. I really liked it. It's very crisp and "summery." Though, admittedly, not for everyone. It does have A LOT of flavor!
4 thinly sliced cucumbers
1 large sliced red onion
1 large sliced green bell pepper (or color of your choice)
1 Tbsp salt
1 1/2 cups white vinegar
1/2 cup water
1 cup sugar
1 tsp celery flakes
1 tsp red pepper flakes
1 tsp. minced garlic
In a bowl place cucumbers, onion, peppers, salt, celery flakes, red pepper flakes and gently stir.
Bring to a boil the vinegar,water,and garlic . Then add two large handfuls of ice.
Pack vegetable mixture tightly into 2 quart jars (or 4 pints). Pour slightly cooled liquid mixture into the jars until they are full. Keep in the refrigerator for up to two months.
