Prep Time 2 hours
Total Time 2 hours
Course: Salad

Ingredients
  

  • 2 large cucumbers
  • 1/2 t salt
  • 2-3 t vinegar

Method
 

  1. Wash the cucumbers, and slice about 1/8" thick, as evenly as you can.
  2. Toss the slices in a bowl with the salt. Let rest half an hour, stirring occasionally if convenient.
  3. Toss the slices with the brine that has accumulated at the bottom of the bowl. Then pour all into a strainer, and let drain an hour or more.
  4. Rinse the cucumber slices well with cold water, to remove the salt, and dry. Toss with 2 t vinegar, adding another t if needed.
  5. Serve at once, or keep for several days - the flavor will develop as it rests and absorbs the vinegar.
