Cucumber Salad

Cucumber Salad
(around 8 cups)


Ingredients:

7 cups Cucumbers, peeled and sliced (1/4 inch)
1 cup Red Onion, Medium Chop
1 cup Green Pepper, Medium Chop
2 cups Sugar
1 cup White Vinegar
1 tbsp. Celery Seed
1 tbsp. plus 1 tsp. Kosher Salt

Directions:

In a large bowl combine the cucumbers, onion and green pepper and set aside.  In a medium bowl whisk the sugar, vinegar, celery seed and salt together until all the sugar is dissolved.  This will make more liquid than needed but it is best to use all.  Pour the liquid over the cucumber mixture and stir until well combined.  Refrigerate for two hours or overnight before serving.

Note:               This salad freezes well if you have too many cucumbers on hand.
                           However, it tastes so good it never makes the freezer in our
                           home.

Note:               I believe you can double the vegetables in this recipe without
                          increasing the liquid.  I have not tried it with this recipe but
                          believe it will work.
