A Bright and Refreshing Southern Cucumber Salad

Southern Cucumber Salad

Print Recipe

Cool and crunchy, tangy and totally refreshing, this Southern-leaning cucumber salad is perfect with just about anything with which you choose to serve it. You can use whatever kind of onion you like or have on hand, but a Vidalia would anchor this salad more firmly in the South, of course. Also, half of a seeded and minced jalapeno is delicious in this, and a big dollop of sour cream of a splash of tangy buttermilk gives the salad a creamy body that is also very nice. Point is? It’s flexible, this one.

Ingredients

Units Scale

2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 teaspoons granulated sugar
1/3 cup canola or vegetable oil (can sub olive oil, if you want that flavor)
Salt and pepper
1 English cucumber, sliced into thin rounds (1/8-inch is pretty good)
3 or 4 mini cucumbers, thinly sliced (optional, you can just use more English cukes)
1/4 large onion, thinly sliced (Vidalia for a more Southern spin, red onion for color – or use both!)
2 to 3 teaspoons poppy seeds
3 tablespoons fresh chopped dill

Instructions

In a liquid measuring cup or medium bowl, whisk together the vinegar, sugar, and oil until well-combined. Taste and adjust as you like (more sugar if you want it sweeter, etc.). Season with salt and pepper.
In a large bowl, combine the cucumber and onion slices, tossing gently to mix. Pour over the dressing and add the poppy seeds, tossing to coat everything really well. Now, if you like more dressing, feel free to add a splash more of oil and vinegar as needed (you can dress the salad right in the bowl – this is casual stuff).
This can be enjoyed right away, topped with the freshly chopped dill. But it really is best when it can sit in the fridge for at least 30 minutes prior to serving. This will keep in the fridge for up to 5 days for you, and for a couple of months in the freezer.
