Recipe for Cucumber Salad

My husband and I have become addicted to this cucumber salad.  It really hits the spot on these HOT summer days.  (It's not supposed to be this frickin' hot in Wisconsin!)  There are a zillion variations on this cucumber salad, so you've probably had this in one form or another.  But this is MY special recipe!
 
INGREDIENTS:
  • 3 large cucumbers, peeled, cut in half lengthwise, and then thinly sliced
  • 1 bunch green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup white vinegar
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon dried basil

PREPARATION:

Combine all ingredients except cucumbers and green onions; heat until sugar melts.  Pour warm mixture over cucumbers and green onions.  Store covered in refrigerator.

Serves 6 to 8.  (Or only two people if they're addicted to cucumber salad.)
