Ingredients for Marinated Cucumbers<\/h2>\n\n- Cucumbers:<\/b> You don\u2019t have to peel English or mini cucumbers, but you should cut them into thin slices rather than solid chunks.<\/li>\n
- Onion:<\/b> Pick a medium-sized sweet onion for its assertive flavor.<\/li>\n
- White vinegar:<\/b> Learning how to marinate cucumbers in vinegar provides acidity and bite in these cucumbers.<\/li>\n
- Sugar:<\/b> Add some white or brown sugar for sweetness and to balance the acidity.<\/li>\n
- Olive oil:<\/b> You want a good quality extra virgin olive oil to carry the seasoning flavors.<\/li>\n
- Salt:<\/b> This boosts the other flavors and draws moisture out of the cucumber and onion.<\/li>\n
- Dried oregano:<\/b> Even dried, this herb has a pronounced aroma that\u2019s synonymous with summer.<\/li>\n
- Garlic powder:<\/b> Shake a little into the seasoning to round out the fragrances.<\/li>\n
- Marjoram:<\/b> This dried herb gives a light, citrusy aroma to the cucumbers marinated in dressing.<\/li>\n
- Lemon-pepper seasoning:<\/b> Infused into the olive oil, lemon pepper makes the marinated cucumber salad recipe come alive.<\/li>\n
- Mustard:<\/b> The ground seeds are peppery and spicy but not as strong as the condiment mustard.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Directions<\/h2>\nStep 1: Combine all the ingredients and refrigerate<\/h3>\n

JoJo Baccam for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\nIn a large bowl, combine the sliced cucumbers and onion. In a jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine the vinegar, sugar, olive oil, salt, oregano, garlic, marjoram, lemon-pepper seasoning and ground mustard. Attach the lid and shake well. Pour the dressing over the cucumber and onion mixture, and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate at least four hours. Serve with a slotted spoon to allow excess liquid to drain off.<\/p>\n
Editor\u2019s Tip:<\/i> You can lightly salt the cucumbers<\/span><\/a> and onions first to draw out some water. Then, discard the liquid for a more intense flavor.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n![\"Marinated](\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Marinated-Cucumbers_TOHD24_12580_JoJoBaccam_-4.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\")
JoJo Baccam for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\nRecipe Variations<\/h2>\n\n- Use fresh herbs and garlic:<\/b> For that straight-out-of-the-garden look, use thinly sliced fresh garlic as well as fresh oregano and marjoram for a more pungent aroma.<\/li>\n
- Try honey:<\/b> Undissolved sugar can make the dressing grainy, whereas smooth honey adds a syrupy warmth.<\/li>\n
- Sprinkle with sesame seeds:<\/b> Toasted sesame seeds scattered on top add a nutty finish and enhance the appearance of the marinated cucumber salad.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
How to Store Marinated Cucumbers<\/h2>\n
This is really a recipe to prepare and consume within a narrow window, but you can store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. You\u2019ll lose the crunch, however, as the vinegar gets to work.<\/p>\n
Can you freeze marinated cucumbers?<\/h3>\n
Because cucumbers are about 96% water, you can probably guess what they\u2019ll do in the freezer. Hint: It\u2019s not crunchy or refreshing. If you want to store cucumbers out of season, try pickling cucumbers<\/span><\/a>, but for this recipe, fresh is best. \u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\nMarinated Cucumber Tips<\/h2>\n

JoJo Baccam for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\nWhat type of cucumbers should you use?<\/h3>\n
If you have only the short, smooth variety with rubbery skin and a seam of seeds running through the center, you\u2019ll have to peel each cucumber and scoop out the core. This recipe works best with long, ribbed English cucumbers or mini cucumbers that don\u2019t have a bitter peel or much in the way of seeds.<\/p>\n
What else can you add to marinated cucumbers?<\/h3>\n
Don\u2019t stray too far from the recipe above if you want to keep the spotlight on the cucumbers marinated in the delicious dressing. You could add olives or feta cheese, for example, but then you\u2019ve got a Greek salad<\/span><\/a> and no one remembers the cucumber. To lift the recipe a little, try different types of vinegar, onion varieties, or a touch of spice with red pepper flakes or cumin.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nWhat do you serve with marinated cucumbers?<\/h3>\n
You can try this marinated cucumber salad on a burger instead of pickles or as a refreshing side to any heavy, spicy grilled meat like smoked pork butt<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0barbecue beef brisket<\/a>. It\u2019s also a delicate side dish to serve with steamed fish, sliced meats, or a Mediterranean platter of humus, tzatziki and eggplant dip<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"These marinated cucumbers make a cool summer side dish dressed in a light, tangy vinegar and oil mixture seasoned with herbs.

Can you use peeled cucumbers? <\/h3>Some cucumber peels taste bitter, so feel free to peel the cucumbers before making marinated cucumbers. If you want to leave on some peel for color, you can peel stripes down the cucumber, removing the majority of the bitter peel. They'll remain structurally intact and look great in this or other cucumber salads<\/a>. \r\nWhat else can you add to marinated cucumbers? <\/h3>This marinated cucumber dish is really simple, so you don\u2019t need to add many extra ingredients. Feel free to play around with the herbs and spices or use different types of onion<\/a> based on your preferences. For instance, sweet onions have a mild flavor and a touch of sweetness, and red onions bring a peppery flavor.\r\n\r\nWhat do you serve with marinated cucumbers? <\/h3>Marinated cucumbers are one of our favorite summer side dishes<\/a>. They are a refreshing addition to any grilled meat dish, especially anything with bold flavors, like chili-rubbed ribs<\/a>, smoked pork butt<\/a> or barbecued beef brisket<\/a>. \r\n\r\nHow long will marinated cucumbers last? <\/h3>Marinated cucumbers are best served the same day they\u2019re made. They are good for about 3 days when stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator, but they lose their crispness over time.

Directions<\/h2>\nStep 1: Combine all the ingredients and refrigerate<\/h3>\n
In a large bowl, combine the sliced cucumbers and onion. In a jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine the vinegar, sugar, olive oil, salt, oregano, garlic, marjoram, lemon-pepper seasoning and ground mustard. Attach the lid and shake well. Pour the dressing over the cucumber and onion mixture, and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate at least four hours. Serve with a slotted spoon to allow excess liquid to drain off.<\/p>\n Editor\u2019s Tip:<\/i> You can lightly salt the cucumbers<\/span><\/a> and onions first to draw out some water. Then, discard the liquid for a more intense flavor.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n This is really a recipe to prepare and consume within a narrow window, but you can store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. You\u2019ll lose the crunch, however, as the vinegar gets to work.<\/p>\n Because cucumbers are about 96% water, you can probably guess what they\u2019ll do in the freezer. Hint: It\u2019s not crunchy or refreshing. If you want to store cucumbers out of season, try pickling cucumbers<\/span><\/a>, but for this recipe, fresh is best. \u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n If you have only the short, smooth variety with rubbery skin and a seam of seeds running through the center, you\u2019ll have to peel each cucumber and scoop out the core. This recipe works best with long, ribbed English cucumbers or mini cucumbers that don\u2019t have a bitter peel or much in the way of seeds.<\/p>\n Don\u2019t stray too far from the recipe above if you want to keep the spotlight on the cucumbers marinated in the delicious dressing. You could add olives or feta cheese, for example, but then you\u2019ve got a Greek salad<\/span><\/a> and no one remembers the cucumber. To lift the recipe a little, try different types of vinegar, onion varieties, or a touch of spice with red pepper flakes or cumin.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n You can try this marinated cucumber salad on a burger instead of pickles or as a refreshing side to any heavy, spicy grilled meat like smoked pork butt<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0barbecue beef brisket<\/a>. It\u2019s also a delicate side dish to serve with steamed fish, sliced meats, or a Mediterranean platter of humus, tzatziki and eggplant dip<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" These marinated cucumbers make a cool summer side dish dressed in a light, tangy vinegar and oil mixture seasoned with herbs.

What do you serve with marinated cucumbers?<\/h3>\n
Can you use peeled cucumbers? <\/h3>Some cucumber peels taste bitter, so feel free to peel the cucumbers before making marinated cucumbers. If you want to leave on some peel for color, you can peel stripes down the cucumber, removing the majority of the bitter peel. They'll remain structurally intact and look great in this or other cucumber salads<\/a>.
What else can you add to marinated cucumbers? <\/h3>This marinated cucumber dish is really simple, so you don\u2019t need to add many extra ingredients. Feel free to play around with the herbs and spices or use different types of onion<\/a> based on your preferences. For instance, sweet onions have a mild flavor and a touch of sweetness, and red onions bring a peppery flavor.\r\n\r\n
What do you serve with marinated cucumbers? <\/h3>Marinated cucumbers are one of our favorite summer side dishes<\/a>. They are a refreshing addition to any grilled meat dish, especially anything with bold flavors, like chili-rubbed ribs<\/a>, smoked pork butt<\/a> or barbecued beef brisket<\/a>. \r\n\r\n
How long will marinated cucumbers last? <\/h3>Marinated cucumbers are best served the same day they\u2019re made. They are good for about 3 days when stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator, but they lose their crispness over time.
