Grandmas’ Pickled Cucumber Salad
This is a simple and delicious recipe for a pickled cucumber salad. I remember sitting in my Grandmothers’ kitchen as a kid. Green and orange flowery wallpaper covering the walls and a matching round dining table set. Also green. We were about to devour her amazing meatballs, potatoes, creamy gravy and these perfectly matched pickled cucumbers. On a shelf next to the table was a hand cranked coffee grinder. Simple design, yet its leavers, slots and drawers fascinated me. A perfect distraction and entertainment at the table until food arrived. I wonder what happened to it…
2/3 cup white vinegar
1/3 cup water
2/3 cup sugar
1/2 cucumber, peeled and very thinly sliced
1/4 cup chopped parsley
2 pinches salt
2 pinches pepper
In a bowl add vinegar, water and sugar. Whisk until sugar is dissolved. Add the cucumber and parsley. Season with salt and pepper.
Stir well, then place in the fridge for 2-3 hours, stirring it once in a while. Serves 4
