CUCUMBER SALAD 6-8 cucumbers (don't get them so big that they are full of seeds.) 1/2 cup water 1/2 cup vinegar 1/3 cup olive oil or vegetable oil Garlic powder - a couple of shakes Dash of paprika Salt Slice your cucumber paper thin. Yeah- you are reading correctly!) You will be putting these into any kind of bowl. After you slice one layer, salt them. Then do another layer. Salt that layer. Continue doing this until you have sliced all of your cucumbers. These will shrink dramatically, so make sure you have at least double what you would think you would need if not more. Let this sit on the counter covered for several hours so the water can come out of the cucumbers. Next, you are going to "wring them out." Seriously, I am not kidding! Get a handful at a time and wring out as much water as you can. The poor cucumber will look so limp you will feel sorry for it, but you will be paying for what you do to them with achy hands! Next, you will add the vinegar, water, oil, garlic powder, and a dash of paprika. I gave approximate amounts. The liquid should cover the cucumbers. If you like them more sour, add more vinegar. If less sour, add more water. Put them in the refrigerator to chill. Serve. Jay
