Is it just me or has this year FLOWN by?! Somehow Memorial Day is here again and so is our first wedding anniversary ♥️ I’m not sure how an entire year has happened since we got married, but here we are! In honor of the occasion I have to share my all-time favorite pic from our wedding and then I swear we’ll get down to this Easy Cucumber Salad business.
Thank you Mother Nature for the natural wind machine 😂 and our amazing photographer, Joseph Lin, for this unbelievable snap 📸
Ok, Ok, as promised! With the long weekend fast approaching and official kickoff of Summer right around the corner, this felt like the right time to share my go-to Easy Cucumber Salad. It’s light and refreshing, and is not mayo based so it has a better (safer) shelf life at cookouts. Happy Summer!
INGREDIENTS
- 2 English Cucumbers, thinly sliced (or 4 Regular Cucumbers, peeled & thinly sliced)
- 1 Onion, thinly sliced
- 1 cup Red Wine Vinegar
- 1/2 cup Water
- 3/4 cup Sugar
