Recipesfull introduces to you: Cucumber Salad Recipes. (Grandma's Cucumber and Onion Salad Recipe). Both of my grandmothers made this salad every summer when their gardens produced baskets of cucumbers. It's a cool, fresh side dish for any meal. One of my grandmas omitted the green pepper and the celery seed. She also put ice in it to chill it quickly and cut the vinegar taste.
