8 cups peeled, thinly sliced cucumbers
1 large sweet onion, thinly sliced
1 tomato, seeded and chopped
1.5 cups white sugar
1 cup distilled white vinegar

Instructions

In a large bowl, gently combine the cucumbers, onion, and tomato.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar, white vinegar, balsamic vinegar, salt, and celery seeds until the sugar has fully dissolved. Pour the mixture over the vegetables and toss gently to ensure even coating.
Cover the bowl tightly and refrigerate for approximately 12 hours before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
