Cucumber Salad my mother's recipe Time: 10 minutes plus 1 hour
3 - 4 cucumbers
1 tbs salt
2 tbs sugar
1/4 cup cider vinegar
1 tbs fresh chives, snipped
1/2 tsp pepper
Peel cucumber and thinly slice on box slicer. Layer with the salt in a large bowl. Cover with a plate, add a weight of some sort and let sit for an hour. Drain, rinse lightly and squeeze dry. Add remaining ingredients, mix well. Serve. This gets better the next day. My mother would add sour cream to this and eat on top of boiled, buttered potatoes!
