Grandpa Norm's Cucumber Salad

Quick and easy cucumber side dish.
This recipe is from my Grandpa Norm & Grandma Ruth Hagler. It's my absolute favorite cucumber salad recipe. You can scale it up or down depending on how many cucumbers you have on hand.
INGREDIENTS:
- 6 cucumbers, sliced 1/8" thick (peel regular cucumbers, you can leave skin on English cucumbers)
- 2 medium onions, sliced 1/8 thick
- 2 T. Pickling Salt
- 1/2 C. White Distilled Vinegar
- 1/4 C. Vegetable Oil
- 3/8 C. Sugar
DIRECTIONS:
- Combine cucumbers, onions and pickling salt in a glass container and soak for 3-4 hours (or overnight) in the refrigerator.
- Rinse cucumbers and onions really well and squeeze gently to remove any excess water.
- Combine vinegar, oil and sugar in a glass measuring cup. Whisk together with a fork until sugar is dissolved.
- Pour dressing over cucumbers and onions, combine and chill until ready to serve.

This recipe I created from looking up various pizza twist recipes. The inspiration comes from the Boston's pizza twists.

This is a recipe I found in 2011 from Real Simple and thought sounded fantastic. I finally got around to making it and it was incredibly easy and tasted wonderful too.
