09-20 Cool Cucumbers : Agurkesalat

Side, salad, or garnish on sandwiches
Perfect on a hot day or with hot, spicy food.

2 8" cucumbers, sliced very thin (European if possible - less seeds and more flavor)
Arrange them in a shallow glass dish and sprinkle with salt. Place another dish on top to press out water over a couple of hours.
Drain the cucumbers and dry by patting with a thin tea towel.
Place cucumbers in glass jar.

Create brine by combining :
1/2 c white vinegar 
1/4 c  lemon juice 
1 T sugar to taste
1 t of salt
1/4 t white pepper
Pour over cucumbers
Sprinkle the top with
4 T chopped fresh dill
Serve or refrigerate until serving, (which I prefer).

Substitute cilantro for a different version.
