This creamy cucumber salad contains no mayonnaise. It's great to make ahead of time because the flavor and texture improve with a few hours of chilling.

Ingredients

• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 tablespoon salt
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 cup apple cider vinegar
• freshly ground black pepper to taste
• ½ sweet onion, chopped
• ½ (12 fluid ounce) can evaporated milk
• 6 large cucumbers, peeled and thinly sliced

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Place cucumbers into a large bowl with a lid, mix in 1 tablespoon salt, and cover. Refrigerate to let salt draw out excess moisture, 2 to 3 hours. Drain liquid and squeeze as much moisture as possible out of cucumbers; transfer to a large salad bowl.

Step 2

Mix cider vinegar, evaporated milk, vegetable oil, 2 teaspoons salt, and black pepper in a jar, shaking it to thoroughly combine. Pour dressing over cucumbers and stir in onion. Refrigerate at least 4 hours (overnight for better flavor).
