Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the creamy salad dressing, granulated white sugar, and distilled white vinegar until the sugar is fully dissolved and the dressing is smooth. Season generously with sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

02

Step

In a large bowl, combine the thinly sliced cucumbers and sweet onion. Gently pour the dressing over the vegetables, ensuring they are evenly coated. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

03

Step

Gently toss the salad to combine all ingredients. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. (Chill time: 30+ minutes)

04

Step

Before serving, give the salad another gentle toss. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more salt, pepper, or vinegar to your preference.

For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of dried dill or a splash of lemon juice to the dressing.
If you prefer a less sweet salad, reduce the amount of sugar to 1/4 cup or even omit it entirely.
To prevent the salad from becoming too watery, you can lightly salt the cucumbers and onions before adding the dressing. Let them sit for 15 minutes, then drain off any excess liquid.

    This salad was a hit at our family barbecue! Everyone loved the sweet and tangy flavor.

    I used Greek yogurt instead of salad dressing and it was still amazing, but healthier!

  • Jazmyn Kiehn

    So easy to make and perfect for a hot summer day. I will definitely be making this again.

  • Terry Lind

    The key is to let it chill long enough for the flavors to blend. It's so much better after a few hours!

  • Camren Waters

    I added a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little kick, and it was delicious!
