CUCUMBER SALAD

There have been a number of recipes for cucumber salad on Facebook recently and judging from the comments, they sound very popular. Here's another recipe from an aunt who started out being a nurse to my grandmother and married my grandmother's doctor-son. I remember this fondly from my childhood and often begged the nurse to make it. The quantities are lost to history; just use what seems good to you and fills up the bowl.

CUCUMBER SALAD

serves 4

1/3 C vinegar (any old vinegar will do; probably ordinary cider vinegar is best; I'm sure that's all she had)

3 T sugar

thinly sliced onions (use Vidalia or red onions if you prefer)

thinly sliced cucumbers, peeled but not seeded

shredded lettuce

1. Mix all ingredients well with salt and plenty of pepper and marinate for at least two hours. Holds for 2-3 days.
