Sounds delicious!
I make exactly that but without the sugar almost every day during the summer. I'll try it with the sugar.
Although how you can manage to wait "several hours" is beyond me.
It's also good if you add some sliced carrots.

The vinegar/sugar dressing is the "Pennsylvania Dutch" staple "sweet and sour" which can be used with many vegetables.
"Sweet and sour" cole slaw can be made with finely shreded cabbage and maybe some finely diced carrots.
That same dressing can be used with a variety of chopped vegetables blended together (often green beans, lima beans, kidney beans, celery, onions, carrots, cauliflower, and a little sweet corn) for a relish called "chow-chow". That one is best refrigerated for a day or two.
All fast-friendly!

I'll have to make it without the sugar . . .  And it's not because I'm already sweet enough!  Alex

uborkasalátával Hungarian Cucumber Salad...the only thing I do differently is after I salt the cucumbers...let it sit to draw the water out then squeeze them so they take in some of the sugary vinegar

Interesting!
The "Pennsylvania Dutch" largely originated from the German Palatinate and Saxony...there are a lot of "easternisms"in that region including onion-domed churches and some residual reminders of a six week Nativity Fast.
Stands to reason that there would be some culinary cross-over as well.

And for another wonderful Dormition Fast dish: homemade stir fried shrimp fajitas.
Fresh from the garden zuchinni and tomatoes, store-bought peppers and onions and a medley of cayenne and other southwestern spices with precooked shrimp, served in a whole wheat tortilla topped with spicy guacamole.
Fasting does not have to be bland!

I agree, it's not really summer, but I couldn't get it to post elsewhere.
You know, just thinking about it, wonder how it would work for folks that like all the fancy pumpkin coffees? Maybe not though, I guess it would have the pumpkin puree, and banana in it. Wonder if it could be blended with an oil free cool whip or something. It would be a lot healthier than most.
