Simple cucumber salad
Cucumber salad is a favorite recipe for my daughter. I think all people have been enjoying for ages. Thinly sliced cucumber and onion are mixed up with little vinegar and salt for your dish.
Cucumber salad is light, refreshing and easy to prepare. There are a variety of cucumber salad recipes. But here I used to make a very simple recipe. Even kids can prepare it. A variety of cucumber is also available in the market. Also, red onions are perfect for eating raw. Be sure them to slice them as thinly as you can. If you didn't get a red onion you can use white onion.
It is very easy to make and it takes only about 10-15 minutes to put together. To make this cucumber and onion salad just slice thinly the cucumbers and onion and stir everything together. Even it is very easy to prepare it doesn't lack flavor.
