This homemade salad of fresh cucumbers, onions and peppers tastes great and, thanks to its simple preparation, anyone can make it.

For 12 portions

Ingredients

3 kg salad cucumbers
4 large onions
4 green peppers
4 tablespoons vegeta
150 g sugar
400 ml vinegar (traditional fermented)

Preparation procedure

We cut the vegetables: Slice the cucumbers into small rounds. Cut the peppers and onions into small pieces.
Mix everything together: Put all the vegetables into a large bowl. Add vegeta, sugar and vinegar. Mix thoroughly.
Let it release juice: Cover the bowl with a cloth and let stand for half an hour at room temperature. The vegetables will release enough of their own juice.
Let it rest: Let the mixture stand for 24 hours in a cool place (e.g., pantry or refrigerator) so the flavors meld nicely.
Fill the jars: After 24 hours, fill clean jars with the mixture, seal tightly and store in a cool, dark place.

Total preparation time:

24 hours (including resting)

Number of servings:

approx. 10–12 jars (370 ml each)
