This is an excellent, simple salad.  I have made it for years in a slight variation:  3 peeled sliced cucumbers, 1 thinly sliced medium red onion, vegan sugar to taste ( I use 1 tbs. ), 1/2 tsp. coarse ground black pepper, 4-5 tbs. vegan red wine vinegar, scan't 1/4 cup plain yogurt (mayonaisse substitute also works nicely). Mix all but veggies thoroughly first, then add veggies and coat completely. I like to make this a day ahead and store in a covered container so all the flavors have a chance to meld. If you don't mind spending the extra $, english cukes are really superior in this.  Serves 4-6.

Thank you. Was looking for my moms old recipe for cucumber salad. She never wrote it down and has now passed away. This is exactly it -- must be a Dutch thing.
