Sweet-Tart Cucumber Salad
A dear friend showed me how to use up cucumbers in a tangy salad. The longer it chills, the deeper the flavor. Look for lemon or pickling cucumbers. —Dian Jorgensen, Santa Rosa, California

This recipe is a little to vinegary for my families taste. I added extra sugar and for us it tasted much better.
I made this refreshing salad to serve with a simple sandwich supper. While I reduced the recipe to about four servings, the salad turned out great!
