The cucumbers are practically popping out of the soil at Sophia Garden these days. For this Marinated Cucumber Salad, the garden-fresh cucumbers are sliced paper-thin, tossed with slices of organic onions and diced green pepper, and dressed in a sweet-and-sour marinate that consists of 1/3 cup granulated sugar, 1/3 cup rice vinegar and 1 teaspoon of Kosher salt. Chill overnight for a refreshing and savory bite of summer!While I take a brief holiday from blogging, I’m offering up a tasting menu of some of my creations from the organic produce grown at Sophia Garden. Enjoy the bounty of summer, and I’ll be back soon.

Fresh cucumbers are the best!
How refreshing!
I love simple salads like this. Sometimes I might toss in a few red pepper flakes, to take this in a different direction.
I hope you're having a real vacation and not just a vacation from blogging! This sounds just like a cucumber salad my mother used to make, delicious!
I love dishes like this, where the taste isn't masked but rather enhanced. So simple and summery! Hope you're enjoying a last fling with summer this labor day weekend!
I don't know what is about simple cucumber salads, but I never tire of them.
