Vinegar Marinated Cucumbers

Vinegar Marinated Cucumbers is one of the easiest side dishes ever.  These cucumbers are sweet, tangy, and crunchy.

During the summer months, I make this easy side dish about once a week.  It is so simple and so good!  These cucumbers are cool and crunchy with tons of flavor.  They make a great side dish for a BBQ or potluck.

How To Make Vinegar Cucumbers

• Peel and slice 2 cucumbers.

• Add vinegar, warm water, sugar, salt, and pepper to a bowl.
• Whisk together.

• Add the cucumbers to the vinegar.
• Marinate for at least an hour.

• Drain the liquid off the cucumbers.
• Serve cold.

Make Ahead

You can start marinating these cucumbers in the vinegar mixture for up to a day ahead of time.  Any longer than that and they won’t be as crunchy.

Leftovers

Store any leftover cucumbers in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.  However, after about a day they start to lose some of their crunch.
