Instructions
The English cucumbers come in the shrink wrap plastic. Remove the plastic and peel the green skin. I think if you don't remove the skin, it gives the cucumbers a little bit of a bitter taste. You could certainly leave the skins on, then I would wash and dry off the cucumbers before slicing.
Slice the cucumbers thinly. If some of the slices seem kind of big, you can cut them in half as well to make it easier to eat.
Add the Miracle Whip and Sugar. Stir.
Let sit about 3 minutes for the sugar to dissolve. Enjoy!

Notes
Recipe Variation: I think you could actually add onions, green peppers, or another type of vegetable that you like.
Creamy Cucumber Salad with Miracle Whip or Mayonnaise
Sometimes there is a strong debate on which one to use. I have successfully used both the Miracle Whip and Mayonnaise in this recipe interchangeably. Use the one that makes you happy. Life is too short to stress over which one to use.
Can you Make cucumber Salad with Yogurt?
Yes, you can use a Greek yogurt in place of the salad dressing. Another option it to use part of the salad dressing and Greek yogurt together.
Make Ahead Garden-Fresh Recipe
Make this side dish ahead of time. In fact, it is best if you can wait an hour or two before serving as the flavors will combine a bit better. Make sure to refrigerate.
Can This Salad be Stored?
Yes, it can be stored in an airtight container up to five days in the refrigerator. However, due to the water in the cucumbers, the salad dressing will have a thinner consistency. They still taste great though.
