*LOL* Just like my grandmother’s cucumber salad, except she used cider vinegar, a bit less sugar, and included a little salt & black pepper. She sometimes added sweet onion. (If keeping a while, iced water is added to preserve the cucumber.)

I swear, sometimes I think our ancestral cuisines are nearly identical.

Yup! If the vinegar is too acidic, you can add a tiny bit of water.

The kind at Thai restaurants may use prepackaged dressing, which usually contains corn syrup (hence the sticky sweetness) and sometimes hot pepper flakes.

Mmmm! My second favorite type of cucumber salad is the kind with sour cream. I’ll have to try your recipe

That’s it?! Never knew one of my favorite dressings was that simple.

I make a Polish version of cucumber salad called “Miseria” with a dressing of sour cream, white wine/cider/rice vinegar (take your pick), salt and pepper. Yummm
