Wash the cucumbers thoroughly, remove the ends, and cut them into slices no more than 5\u20136 mm (about \u00bc inch) thick. Peel and rinse the onion, then cut it into rings or half-rings.

Transfer the hot salad to the sterilized jar and seal it tightly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Turn the jar upside down, wrap it in a towel or blanket, and leave it in this position for 24 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Canned Nezhinsky salad can be stored at room temperature. Once opened, it is ready to serve immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Notes:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For an especially aromatic and spicy version of this cucumber salad, try replacing sunflower oil with mustard oil. Like many other artisan oils, mustard oil is available from the Ukrainian online store CraftOil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Enjoy Nezhinsky cucumber salad as a flavorful side dish with meat, poultry, fish, or as a traditional homemade appetizer. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nezhinsky salad is a famous dish dating back to the 1960s.
