Please fix the quantities saying
6-10 cucumbers and only 2/3 cup of liquid.

Unless you are using very small pickle-type cucumbers theres no way that amount of liquid covers 6-10 normal cukes. I did it with 4 regular cucumbers and still had to stir every few hours to get them all immersed in the sweet vingar water mix.

That said ,it is tasty.

I add a little salt and pepper, try and cut the sugar back and substitute some stevia, plus 1/2 tsp of celery seed and 1 tbs of dried dill. Reply

I just filled up my bowl with dressing liquid and added onion and cucumbers and tasted the salad to see if it was the consistency I liked. Now it’s in the fridge and gonna have it for dinner. Reply

S&P ys, but celery and carrots make it closer to an Israel salad but with this sweet dressing.

I am not 100% positive but I think this is a NYC ashkenazi side dish, as I have only had it in those homes / seen it sold in those stores' salad depts.

(ITS GOOD....I make it almost every Shabbos) Reply

Cucumbers You specify precise quantities of liquids but not the size of the 6 - 10 cucumbers. Reply

this is Kosher? and how many will this Cucumber salad feed Wondering how many people this salad as listed will feed? The average eater. I am going to a potluck wedding and am to bring something. Is this a kosher food? I dont know so I need to ask Reply

in response to Mindy:

Yes. Kosher eating means you do not eat meat and cheese on the same plate . They have two sets of dishes pots and pans even two sinks. When in doubt what you can use a paper plate. you might want to purchase a disposable container.
The portions to this recipe are not as important as the taste. This is best served the second day. Make a large bowl it will be a favorite. Reply
