Facebook Cucumber Salad

I'm calling this 'Facebook Cucumber Salad' because it seems to have gone viral on Facebook.  A friend of mine was going to make it.....but I had to do it because she wasn't going to share with me! (sorry Stefanie!!!)  

FACEBOOK CUCUMBER SALAD

Makes 2 quarts

It's Pointless!!

7 cups unpeeled pickling cucumbers, thinly sliced
1 cup thinly sliced onion
1 cup thinly sliced red, yellow or green bell pepper
1 tsp salt
1 cup white vinegar
2 cups Splenda granulated
1 tsp celery seed
1 tsp mustard seed

Mix cucumber, onion and pepper slices in a large bowl. Sprinkle with salt; set aside.

Put vinegar, Splenda, celery and mustard seeds in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and let cool for 1 hour.

Pour liquid over the veggies and stir. Spoon/pour into 2 quart jars. Store jars in fridge for up to 2 months......if they last that long!!

 

MY SPIN: The original recipe called for 1 TBSP salt.....way too much in my opinion! The next time I make this, I'm going to use a few more of the cucumbers to fill the jars completely. Also will use more vinegar......these taste a lot like Bread & Butter Pickles and think more vinegar will give them more of a cuke salad taste. They're good this way, tho!!!
