Ingredients
  

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

Instructions
 

  • Wash the cucumbers, and slice about 1/8" thick, as evenly as you can.
  • Toss the slices in a bowl with the salt. Let rest half an hour, stirring occasionally if convenient.
  • 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.
  • Rinse the cucumber slices well with cold water, to remove the salt, and dry. Toss with 2 t vinegar, adding another t if needed.
  • Serve at once, or keep for several days - the flavor will develop as it rests and absorbs the vinegar.
