So Keifer's is one of my most favorite places in Jackson (maybe of ever) to eat. Jonas and I probably go about 3 times a month. I almost always get the gyro with melted feta on whole wheat. And I almost always get the cottage fry to go with it to share, plus it's only like $3. But sometimes I like to mix it up and get the Cuke and Onion.......actually, I believe they re-did the menus and it is just called Cucumbers and Onions now.
Anyways, they are marinated cucumbers that come with feta dressing to dip them in, and it is one of the best things I think I have ever eaten. But they are like $5 or $6, and not much food, so I don't always get them.
Well, I figured out a marinate that makes my cucumbers taste almost exactly like theirs! I was so excited about this that I had to put this out there for you all to try. It may not be the most healthiest of way to eat cucumbers, but you are still getting your vegetables! And this is delicious! I don't even use any feta dressing with mine and it is still good! And so easy!
One small onion, sliced. (if you don't like onions, add them anyway for the flavor, and pick them out. However, I do not like the taste of white onions, but they are good after soaking in the marinade)
For the marinade:
1/4 cup of lemon juice
1/4 (or less) of Italian dressing
1/4 (or more) of white vinager
1 1/2 tablepsoons of sugar (more or less)
1 1/2 tablespoons of salt (more or less)
Pepper to taste
and I added some onion/garlic seasoning as well
Mix up all ingredients for marinade, then add cucumber and onion slices. Be sure to stir very well, and stir every hour or so.
Allow to sit in fridge for 3 - 5 hours (or longer) before devouring these delicious cuke and onions!
I just eat them right out of the bowl as a side dish, but they would be soooooo good on a salad as well.
Hope you enjoy!!
