Cucumber Salad

Ingredients

1 english cucumber
1/4 cup white vinegar
1/4 cup water
2 teaspoons sugar
pinch of salt and pepper

Peel the cucumber and slice it into very, very thin slices. Mix the vinegar, sugar, water and salt and pepper together in bowl. Place the slices in the bowl with the wet ingredients and then place a weighted down (mother used a small stone) plate over top of, and resting on, the cucumber slices overnight in the fridge.

Use as a garnish for open faced sandwiches or as a salad side with dinner. Adjust the sweetness or tartness to your own preferences. You can use artificial sweetener if you wish to replace the sugar.
