Easy Cucumber Salad

This is a very easy and healthy salad to prepare whenever you have the ingredients available. I make it a lot in the summer, but it is good anytime of year. Everyone in my family loves it.

I make this with several variations. Today I used English Cumbers sliced in good sized pieces. Usually I make smaller slices, but I guess I'm not feeling like spending much time in the kitchen today.

To prepare, just slice up cucumbers. If you your regular cukes, peel them first. Add 1/2 to one cup of vinegar, depending on the amount of cucumbers you use. Add salt and pepper to taste. I used apple cider vinegar, but you could use any type that you have on hand.

I frequently add sliced onion rings to this dish.

I like to let this simple salad rest for a while before severing to give the flavors a chance to blend.
I enjoy serving this dish with barbecues, but it goes well with everything and can be prepared in advance and refrigerated.
