This is the way I grew up eating cucumbers. My mother always used apple cider vinegar, and they were great!

I LOVE this! I've had this since I was kid. Instead of just vinegar I usually add a little salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder and let it sit for a bit. And we actually use white vinegar for this rather than apple cider, though both work great! If you do use white vinegar and want to tone down the tang, I suggest adding a little sugar or for us diabetics, use some splenda... works amazing. If you love this, try it with some jicama! You will definitely fall in love!

Cucumbers in vinegar are nothing new to me. This is a "southern thang".Down here in the south,we know how to eat and how to fix good and tasty dishes. This is one of them.However instead of 2-3 spoonfuls of vinegar you are supposed to pour in a cup or two of vinegar to allow the cucumbers to be covered so the vinegar will saturate into the cucumbers better. That's where the tangy flavor comes from. We also will cut up an onion or two into small slivers and put the onions in the vinegar with the cucumbers.Oh so good! I usually eat them right out of the vinegar straight,but sometimes I will sprinkle very lightly a little salt on them. Again,oh so good! Here in the south, most of us use white distilled vinegar and not apple cidar vinegar. The apple cidar vinegar is too whew! and tangy,where the white distilled vinegar is just tangy to taste. Anyway,we've always used the white. So just remember people,you heard it right,cucumbers in vinegar is a southern thang! A thang with a twang!

I thought I was going to go crazy for these but they were just ok. I needed a bit more zip, maybe some garlic salt next time.

I also love cukes this way, however I add a tiny bit of sugar to offset the acidity of the vinegar. Kind of a sweet and sour thing.

I love this, my mother taught me this one when I was a little girl. Now I've passed it on to my kids! I like adding a little salt when nobody is looking....

I made with my son this for ZWT4. I made it as posted, with the exception of adding a little ground sea salt. I wanted to add a little fresh dill, but we didn't have any. We refrigerated it overnight before eating them. I was surprised how much I liked this very simple version! My husband's grandmother used to make a version with sugar, which is also very nice, and we often make a balsamic vinegar version with tomato slices as well, and some fresh herbs.

Great recipe that has stood the test of time. I did add some sliced onion (thinly) and sliced my cucumbers on a mandolin. We have this every Saturday Lunch at the Farm and sometimes I even add a tiny bit of red pepper flakes, or some fresh chives. Make the day prior, cucumbers are chilled and great. Thanks for the memory! Made fof *ZWT4* May 2008.

One of my favorite ways to enjoy cucumbers (other than plain!). Love vinegars...and this is just a lovely, fresh and fast side to compliment any summer meal - or a tasty German feast!! My family used to also eat it with onions and tomatoes sometimes as well. Will make regularly! Thank you for posting! Made for ZWT4.

Fresh and light, perfect as a luncheon side dish. Used grapefruit flavored vinegar (from Trader Joes) and added tomatoes. Garnished with avocado, but I have to say that it tasted great mixed in and took away some of the tart flavor. Will be making this again.

I grew up eating a version of this salad as an accompaniment with pork or chicken satay. My BF grew up eating this as his favorite, fresh out of the garden salad. He loves his cucumbers sliced up chunky, with a couple of cherry tomatoes, lots of vinegar and plenty of salt and pepper. He loves to drink the vinegar out of the bowl after he has finished his snack too!!! Thanks for reminding us both of some great childhood food memories!

A very refreshing recipe which I rustled up as a last minute accompaniment to smoked salmon this lunch time! I used cider apple vinegar for an extra taste dimension! Made for ZWT3 - thanks for such a simple and refreshing recipe! FT:-)
