Kristen from Our Ordinary Life tried out this recipe and submitted this fabulous photoWhile not technically pickled, these veggies get a tang from the vinegar and onion, and that’s what we’ve always called them. My mom used to make these all the time and we’d snitch them out of the refrigerator and eat them all before dinner.  Especially the vinegary cucumber slices….mmmmmmmmm.

You can leave the peel on the cucumber if you like, it adds great color to the dish. I generally don’t peel an organic cucumber, but do a non-organic. Either way, wash them well before preparing.

You can also use a purple onion for more interest and color and a brighter onion flavor.
