Thanks Tarnation. This is a good salad. I like the sweet-sour taste of the vinegar and sugar mix.

Re: CUCUMBER MARIANTED SALAD
Sounds tasty.
What kind of vinegar do you use?
We live in a time in which decent and otherwise sensible people are surrendering too easily to the hectoring of morons or extremists.

Re: CUCUMBER MARIANTED SALAD
Generally white vinegar but apple cider works well, too.
That is a basic Pennsylvania Dutch "sweet and sour" dressing which can also be used with finely chopped cabbage for sweet & sour cole slaw or a potpourri of vegetables for chow-chow.

Re: CUCUMBER MARIANTED SALAD
I used to try to figure out how they made the chow chow from the Dutch Days Supper in Jefferson. It had such a nice flavor. I think they may have used rice vinegar in theirs.
