I honestly expected this to be a little bland using white vinegar and only a little pepper for seasoning. I was wrong. The balance of the vinegar, sugar, and pepper is perfect in its simplicity. Just don't let it sit to long because the leftovers the next day got AWFULLY strong. Still tasty, but nearly pickles rather than salad. LOL

I love this! I grew up eating a very similar version of this salad. It is always well received by everyone. I always include vidalia onions when making cucumber salad. I served this today with Baked Penne and Roasted Vegetables and it was wonderful. Thank you very much, Lauralie!
