Old-Fashioned Cucumber Salad Recipe

Old-Fashioned Cucumber Salad Total time: 10 minutes plus 1 hour Ingredients: 2 – 3 cucumbers 1 tbs salt 2 tbs sugar 1/4 cup cider vinegar 1 tbs fresh chives, snipped 1/2 tsp pepper Instructions: Peel cucumber and thinly slice, using a box slicer, food processor or mandolin. Put 1/3 of the cukes in a deep bowl, sprinkle 1/3 salt. Repeat twice. Place a small plate or bowl, that will rest directly on the cucumbers, on top. Add a weight of some sort to add pressure to the cukes, and let sit for an hour. Drain, rinse lightly and squeeze dry. Add remaining ingredients, mix well. Serve.  This gets better the next day.
