This recipe is a family summer tradition. Refreshing! You may also add onions if you desire.
THIS IS PERFECT!!!! OMG, so glad I used this recipe! Only thing I changed was I added a little more vinegar. LOVED IT!!!! Thank you for posting this recipe ! I saved it for future reference !!!!!!!
Read MoreI didn't like the way the dressing thinned out from the liquid from the cucumber. I would sprinkle the cucumber slices with salt and let them sit on a paper towel for a little while to draw out the extra moisture. Then finish the recipe, adding a little extra salt, if needed. I also finished it off with some white pepper.

A lot of you have commented about this recipe being too runny, but that's just how my grandmother made it and we used a slotted spoon when serving. However, if you would like the mixture to be thicker just blot the moisture out of the cucumbers using a paper towel before mixing them into the sauce. Thanks to all of you who posted positive reviews. I am glad all of you are enjoying this recipe as much as my family has over the last 100 years.
This is my favourite dressing for cucumber salad! One thing I love is that you don't really need to measure anything, just put it all together until it tastes how you like it! I always add pepper and dill to it as well!
I love this stuff. My mom made me a jar of it last summer and now it is a staple in my fridge anytime I get cukes! It is a thin dressing, but I shake before pouring. I love it alone or over a green salad. Also I dice my cukes into small pieces. Yummy!! So glad I found the recipe again!!
I make mine just like this but add a tsp or two of dill weed.
Very good! I added onions too because that's the way I'm used to having them. The dressing was just right.
I liked it, I found it way too sweet so I added lots of garlic powder, Basil, Mrs. Dash. Next time I will use half the sugar asked for, but other than that it was great, love the idea I can make it instead of buying tyvm.
The only things I did were to add salt to the cucumbers to pull out the liquid. I let them sit for about 45 minutes to 1 hour and got a lot of liquid to drain off. They were not runny at all. Great recipe to make when it is HOT!
Next time I will add onions and less sugar. I let it sit over night and it did not thin out like other reviews .
This is delish! Thank you for sharing your grandmother's recipe. I felt the sweet to vinegar ratio was just right. If you think it is too runny, try scraping the seeds out of your cucumbers first. That should make a big difference and only takes a minute.
OMG!!! Myself and taste tester hubby said WOWZA!! It’s chilling right now, I added onion and will get more cucumber in a bit to add because right now it is on the creamy side. Otherwise this is a favorite and since We’re part German and we love Gurkensalate, I added a little of the Würzige Gartenkräuter.
I grew up on this. My mom added onions, and I like to add 1tsp dill weed for a little extra kick
Similar to what we had growing up... however, this recipe is just too much liquid... or my cucumbers are juicier...lol.. It was ok. Doubt I will make it like this again.
I did not have quite 4 cups of cucumber so I did add some onion. I also added 2 tsp. of dried dill because I love it. Finally I used Hellmann's vegan mayonnaise due to dairy and egg allergies in our family. It turned out absolutely wonderful. I may live on this stuff the rest of the summer!
My husband & I both liked this. Made as stated but after tasting I added a bit of black pepper, a little extra salt, onion powder also, and a dash of garlic powder (I always try to stick garlic in wherever I can). The main thing with this is CHILL at least two hours but then need to eat it up otherwise cucumbers get a little soggy / limp after about 4-5 hours but still good flavor wise.
I did add the onion and it was delicious. I have never made this salad before because I am not crazy about cucumbers. I changed my mind. This is great.
This is exactly what I was looking for to use a bunch of cucumbers from the garden. I added a small white onion little less sugar. Very refreshing!
Superb! Loved the dressing. I read the reviews about it becoming to watery, so I didn't marinate them. I used it as a dressing over the cucumbers and it was delicious!
We love this & it is the first thing my husband asks for when we pick fresh cucumbers from the garden. I do add onions as we enjoy them, but it is wonderful either way!!!
Increased the amount of vinegar to 3/4 and used to packets STEVIA instead of sugar...LOVE it: I like more vinegary than sweet. :-)
So good just as is! It is even better with onion and left over the next day!
I did not like how thin the dressing was either, for some reason I expected it to be litte thicker, so I usually play with the amounts. Every time I make it, I tinker with the amounts until I get it to my taste. It really is good though! Definitely add onions if you like onions, they all tste great together. You can let it marinate in the fridge for awhile too.
I loved it! I added a little more vinegar, some dill, and onion (Tweaked to our liking).
This salad is so refreshing and delicious! I made it with half yellow onions (sliced) and half english cucumbers-Everyone loves this tangy salad! It's a breeze to make with a food processor too!
Awesome yummy side. So easy. I actually hate cucumbers but love them like this. I add tomatoes and onions to it too. Very creamy.
Easy to make, added some chopped onion, garlic powder and black pepper. Excellent!!
I never measure out the ingredients for this, just taste as I go. It always turns out delicious. I sometimes add finely diced onion or onion powder. I also add sour cream and dill.
It was exceptionally good. My husband doesn't like sour stuff, but he loved this. I will make it lots of time from now on. Thanks for the recipe!!
I sweated the cucumders for a few hours first. Makes them crisper and doesnt water down the dressing. To sweat them. In a colander add slices of cucumber. ,add a little salt then fill a pot with water to set ontop to add weight . This helps squeese the cucumber juices/water out. I added thinly sliced sweet onion.
Very nice! I added some celery seeds and a bit more sliced red onion. very good!
added 1/2 tsp of dill and cut sugar to 2 tblsp. Otherwise, a great way to eat our garden cucumbers thwhen they are ripening all at the same time.
It was okay. I like a version of his made with sour cream much better.
Delish as written! I only added about 1/2 tsp of celery seeds and a bit of onion. We loved it! I wiill definitly make again.
