Cucumber Salad Recipe

Since a few people asked (and Tricia told me to post this)...

1 cucumber (I like to slice it not-too-thin)
3 tbs mayo
2 tbs milk
1 tbs vinegar
1/2 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt

The sugar and salt are optional.

I quadrupled the recipe for Thanksgiving, which fed 17 people with a little left over. Even though I found this on the internet with a quick google search, I'll take all the credit if you try it and like it.

I wonder if this is what it feels like to be The Pioneer Woman? ;)

  3. This is a recipe my husband's grandma has been making for decades. We all love it! And it's economical, too. Well done, Pioneer Man!

  4. This sounds like my grandma's Cucumber salad---only difference. She added elbow pasta---it was a wonderful salad. I haven't made it for years. I should try your recipe---healthier without the pasta. thanks for sharing. Hope you guys have a grand week with Him!

  5. People think I am this incredible cook and the funny thing is I go to allrecipes.com and swipe my recipes! ha. It's awesome because they rate them like Amazon! You can see how many stars a recipe has, how many times it's been prepared and the various "chef's" feedback on changes they would make.

    That cucumber salad sounds yummy!

  14. We make the same thing but I also add onion slices. If I'm too busy to make the dressing, I sometimes use Marzetti sweet and sour salad dressing which tastes very similar.

    When do we get to see the pictures of the 10,000 cattle in your back yard?

  16. I make this too, it's a great snack for hungry children after school! And so quick and easy!

  17. Do you think one could use plain yogurt instead of mayo?

    You could start a series - "Cooking with Nate" or something like that.

  18. My husband's mom makes a similar recipe but uses sour cream in place of the mayo. I love it! I will try it with mayo next time and you guys try it with sour cream and we'll see what is better;)
