This Refrigerator Cucumber Salad won the Grand Prize in our “Sure Thing” Potluck Recipe Contest. Barbie Seidl submitted it, saying, “This was a recipe that my father would always make.” He has passed away, but I constantly think of him and feel honored anytime someone asks for the recipe.

She must get a lot of requests for the recipe because it’s so delicious, cool, and crunchy, but she’s finally shared it with us! To create it, simply mix thinly sliced cucumbers and onions with sugar, vinegar, and salt. Barbie recommends chilling the salad for at least a day for optimal flavor, but once cooled, it’s ready to eat.
