When we are eating away from home and my husband reveals another of his favorite foods, I try to find a recipe to replicate it at home. I found a simple recipe for one of my husband's favorite summer dishes in Joy of Cooking. I have only altered the amounts and omitted the onion to suit our family.
Marinated Cucumbers
4-5 cups peeled, sliced cucumbers (about 3 large cucumbers)
Sea salt
1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
2 Tb sugar, dissolved in 2 TB water
Sea salt and pepper, to taste
Chopped dill, garnish
In a large bowl, layer cucumber slices, sprinkling lightly with sea salt. Place a weighted plate or heavy bowl on top, cover large bowl, and refrigerate for two hours. Rinse the cucumbers in colander under cold water, drain, and pat dry. Return to bowl and toss with apple cider vinegar and sugar solution. Season with salt and pepper. Chill at least an hour before serving. Garnish with chopped dill, if desired.
