Cucumbers and Onions in Red Wine Vinegar

During the summers of my childhood, there was ALWAYS a bowl of cucumbers and onions in vinegar on the supper table. The secret is to use small cucumbers (fewer seeds) or English cucumbers and sweet onions such as Vidalia.

For just the two of us, I used the following:

1/2 cup sliced cucumbers

1/2 cup thinly sliced sweet onion

salt

pepper
1/2 cup red wine vinegar

1/2 cup water

Place cucumbers and onions in a medium bowl. Lightly salt and pepper. Combine red wine vinegar and water in a measuring cup and then pour over vegetables.

Refrigerate until time to serve. You can continue to add additional cucumbers and onions into the vinegar mix and keep refrigerated.
