This I the same recipe that I make; it’s called freezer cucumber salad and yes it holds up well in freezer. I put it in quart freezer bags.

I always mandolin cucumbers the night before. I put sliced cukes in a colander then put it a bigger bowl that colander sits in. Salt the cucumbers use hands to disperse the salt throughout. Put a plate over cukes then weight it down. I have my grandmother’s cast iron iron that I weight it down. Also can use a 4c measuring cup filled with water. Place in fridge overnight. You won’t believe all the cucumber water released! Not in your salad but in the bowl. I then rinse the salt off and place on two layer flour sack towels, tightly roll up the swirl the ends to close-at chest level. Kids laugh watching this motion! I use some of the cucumber water in the dressing. Go ahead with the rest of the recipe. Cucumbers are crisp and stay that way. No bubbles if using sour cream dressing!!

In reply to Pamela Robinson. Hi Pamela! I think cutting the cucumbers in advance will work fine here. :)

Can I mix the cucumbers and onions and keep in an air tight container and mix up the dressing and keep it separate and use on a serving of the cucumbers and onions to keep the cucumbers from getting too soft before eating it? I would be the only one eating this and I want to try it.

In reply to Alyssa. I like it, but everyone else in my extended family is turned off by the sugar. They rave about it when I leave the sugar out of it though.

Made this for my husband on the 4th of July and he raved about it! I salted and drained the cukes ahead of time. Worked like a charm. The ratio of cucumbers to red onions was perfect, as was the tasty dressing! Very easy recipe and great results!!! Thx Sam for another great recipe!!

I made this for Independence Day and definitely enjoyed it, adding this one to my summer dinners as a side dish. 😀
