[disneychrista]

Never heard of it before.

Growing up in Yorkshire in the 50s we often had cucumber salad which was just thinly sliced cucumber submerged in malt vinegar and left to stand for a spell.

I’ve never tried it but I do like cucumbers so I’d probably like it.

I like cucumbers but it's been ages since I've had the mixture with the vinegar and onions. I add sliced cucumber to a tossed green salad.

I like it in all shapes, forms, and sizes lol

 

[mumto3girls]

I like cucumbers and eat them most days, but I don’t make cucumber salad. I’ve seen both creamy and non creamy and tasted and enjoy both. I usually just eat sliced cucumbers plain or dipped in hummus/mashed avocado. Occasionally I make a salad with bell pepper, cucumber, red onion, feta cheese, grape/cherry tomatoes, basil and vinaigrette. That’s good, but only my oldest DD would eat that and she just visits here now.

I have an issue with raw onions. can't eat anything with them in it. I can eat somethings with cooked onions. Weird, I know.

My dad is the same way. There’s a lot of things that bother his reflux, but raw onions are the biggest offender. Cooked onions are fine. He is super careful about it.

I hate cucumbers so no cucumber salads for me.

Cucumber, onion, vinegar, sugar. I leave out the dill. Love dill pickles, but not otherwise.

I'm not a huge cucumber fan but hubby is. We are southern so in the summer there is almost always a container of cucumbers in vinegar and salt in the fridge (Granny just kept hers out on the table 24/7). No onions or anything else, just cucumber/vinegar/salt. The longer it sits the better it is (I hear but you can't prove it by me).

I voted other. I love cucumbers and eat a lot of them but I don’t know of a specific thing called cucumber salad, like the ones you’re describing. If I was going to conjure up a cucumber salad for myself it would be chunked cucumbers, cherry tomatoes and black olives tossed in Italian dressing and hit with a little parmesan.

That sounds delicious!

Cucumber, onion, vinegar, sugar. I leave out the dill. Love dill pickles, but not otherwise.

Actually, maybe it waa celery seed I leave out. I can't remember since I don't add it.

 

[AppleDumpling]

I like it and make it occasionally. I do a creamy version using Greek yogurt as the base, like a tzatziki sauce. With a bit of sliced onions, oil, lemon juice, garlic, and fresh chopped dill and/or mint.

 

[DaisyDuck001]

Why is there no "I love it" option?

 

[tvguy]

Never had or heard of cucumber salad. All the pictures look good.

 

[amcnj]

I have had some I liked a lot more than others. I guess I was not overly impressed though, as it remains something I never made myself.

 

[fla4fun]

I selected other because the only way I eat cucumbers is if they have been turned into dill pickles. I don’t like them raw in any capacity, and I don’t like any other version of pickles.

 

[scbruno]

I'll eat the non-creamy if it is there. We have a deli up the road that makes really good cucumber salad and won't share the recipe...lol.. my family is addicted to it...

 

[jimmalru80]

I like it, non-creamy. I make it myself.

 

[LoveSpringsteen]

I love cucumbers, but I don’t care for cucumber salad. I’ll eat the vinegar based one if it’s served somewhere. My late Mother loved it and made it often, so today’s poll reminds me of her. She usually made the creamy version.
