Cucumber and Carrot Salad
With summer approaching I am always thinking about salads and outdoor dining. I love a dish that is easy to take along to picnics, barbecues and cook outs. This refreshing salad combines carrots and cucumbers in a simple dressing. So easy and fast. Perfect side for your picnic or barbecue.
Cucumber and Carrot Salad
4 cucumbers, peeled, leaving strips of skin
1 c. coarsely shredded carrots
1 c. thin sliced sweet onion
1/3 c. vinegar- I like cider vinegar in this dish

¼ c. oil
1 T. sugar
1 ½ t. salt
Fresh ground pepper
Slice cucumbers. Combine vegetables in bowl. Combine dressing ingredients and pour over the vegetables, tossing to coat well. Chill at least 1 hour before serving, Spoon over lettuce, if desired. Serves 4-6.
