Directions

Comments
All six ingredients are standard stock at every Charlotte chain, with no special trips required. The actual prep time is honest—slicing a cucumber and onion, whisking vinegar and sugar, mixing everything together really does take five minutes with no hidden steps. At roughly 35 cents per serving this is genuinely cheap, driven entirely by bulk produce prices. The salad reheats adequately and works as a side dish for a weeknight, though it's best eaten the same day it's made since the cucumber softens considerably after sitting overnight in vinegar.
