It wouldn't be summer if Mom didn't make lots of these creamy cucumbers. Just a few simple ingredients—mayonnaise, sugar, vinegar and salt—are all you need to dress them up. —Michelle Beran, Claflin, Kansas

Cucumbers with Dressing

mayonnaise

sugar

white vinegar

salt

cucumbers

I can never remember the recipe my family had used for over 50 years, but this one comes the closest. Unfortunately my mum does it by taste, not by measurement so if this is the closest I can get, I'll take it. I tend to add a pinch more salt and ALWAYS dice up either a pearl or green onions to add. 

Never did like dill with it, but I'm weird that way.

Yummy! I chop onions and add dill weed for a nice flavor twist. These cucumbers in dressing are excellent!

I love this recipe. Reminds me of potlucks when I was a kid. I did add some sliced sweet onion and some dill seasoning.

This recipe brings back great memories. I make the sauce similarly but add slices tomatoes and onions. I'd make a little more sauce to compensate however letting it sit overnight makes for the most delicious vegetable salad. Ideally I use fresh garden tomatoes from home or the farmers market but the sauce does wonders either way. The tomatoes and onions add so much flavor to the sauce you just can't get enough of it.

This is my go to recipe whenever there is a cucumber in my fridge! It’s easy as 1-2-3 to prepare and is delicious. The combo of mayonnaise, rice vinegar and sugar hits every tastebud. If you enjoy a sweeter dressing, I would say give it a try. Warning: hard not to eat it all in one sitting.

Excellent.  Even without the onions. Super simple and super good!

Having an abundance of cucumbers in our garden, I made a triple batch. All our family and friends love them. Made batch #2 tonight, I‘M going to add the dill this time. They are also wonderful with a bit of black pepper.

Recipes don't get much easier than this! I used light mayonnaise and rice vinegar and it didn't seem to affect the taste. I also added pepper as some other reviewers did. I think that next time I may substitute Splenda to see how that affects the taste. I took this to a party without having tried it first and guests pretty much cleaned it up. It was tasty and refreshing and fairly healthy when the recipe is modified. This one's a keeper!!

This was a good, light dish and quick to prepare.  I think I would use a little less sugar next time, but we really enjoyed it.

Quick and easy to prepare - nice fresh taste!  Only disappointment is how runny the sauce gets (likely due to the high water content of the cukes).  Still, will definitely prepare again!!

The dressing lasts a little over a week if keep chilled. You can keep adding more sliced cucumbers over the next few days as they get eaten up....the taste just gets better as the cucumbers draw out their juice into the dressing.  THIS SHOULD BE MADE  AT LEAST 1 TO 2 HOURS AHEAD FOR BEST RESULTSI add a small to medium red onion, sliced, then cut slices in half and separate. I also add about 2 stalks of celery chopped &  about 1 scant teaspoon of celery SEED. It improves both the flavor and the look of the salad.Dill is also good in this. However I do not use that most of the time.If I make this for a crowd, there is always a few people who want the recipe. So I keep a few  copies of the recipe printed up.

My grandmother always made her cucumber salad with sour cream.  When I saw this recipe using mayonnaise instead I just had to try it.  I'm so glad I did!  The dressing is similar to what I use to make coleslaw and pairs very nicely with the cool and fresh cucumbers.  The only thing I did different was to add chopped onions.  I'll surely be making this salad again for future picnics!  Five stars for sure!

I made this last night with the cucumbers from my garden. My husband loved it. thanks, Danette

I halved this recipe tonight as I only had one cucumber, What I wouldn't do for another cucumber to add to the mixture, it is so good. I will DEFINETLY be making this again as soon as I get some cucumbers. I did peel my cucumber though as dh doesn't like skins.

Yet another WINNER from TasteofHome.  I also add a bit of dill weed. with mayo. mixture.  This dish makes a mighty fine salad!  K.

I learned this recipe when I was 11 yrs old that was many moons ago. Now I taught my daughter it and my granddaughters love it.

I used white wine vinegar.  My husband said it was the best cucumber dressing that he ever tasted!!!!

My Mom has made this for years and I, of course, have made it for my family for the past 40  years.  I also like adding thinly sliced onions.  Sometimes I will also add diced fresh tomatoes.  I sprinkle celery seed on top before serving.   Daughter has for this just this week.

I made this last summer. I ate myself, pretty much! I'd never had this before. I will make it again.

I, personally, didn't get to eat this because I don't generally like cucumbers and I wasn't eating sugar at the time, but I will take another stab at it.  I served it at a dinner party and I think only two people tried it so maybe it doesn't taste so good or maybe it tastes good but looks unappealing- not sure.

I am not a mayonnaise person, so in place of the mayonnaise, I'll use either nonfat plain yogurt or light sour cream or Ranch dressing.  I used 2 Tbsp. sugar, 2 Tbsp. CIDER vinegar, 1/4 tsp. pepper, 1 tsp. salt, 1 thinly sliced yellow or white onion and 4 cups thinly sliced unpeeled cucumbers.  This adaptation made a verytasty cucumber salad!  Thank you for this recipe! DELowenstein

Very good salad, I added shredded  carrots to it. Made extra good

My husband said this is very good and I agree.  I did add more salt and a little pepper.
