How to Make Easy Delicious Marinated Cucumber Slices

  1. In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup white vinegar, 1/2 cup sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/4 teaspoon onion powder. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves completely.
  2. Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes.
  3. While the vinegar mixture cools, slice 4 medium cucumbers, 1/2 medium red onion, and 1/2 medium bell pepper (any color) into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Place in a large bowl.
  4. Pour the cooled vinegar mixture over the sliced vegetables. Gently toss to coat evenly.
  5. Transfer the cucumber mixture to a shallow dish with a tight-fitting lid.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 24 hours, stirring gently every 6 hours to ensure even marinating.
  7. Serve chilled as a refreshing salad or a vibrant edible garnish. Enjoy!
