Favorite Cucumbers
"I got this recipe from a friend long ago.
It's very tasty and easy to make.
I find it a nice change from the typical vinegar and sugar.
Peel or not to peel cucumbers is your choice.
No cook time.
I use light taste and color olive oil."

Nothing states summer more then fresh veggies (cucumbers - yum!) in vinegar, sugar, and salt. I have a bowl of these going in my fridge mostly all summer long, but this time - I put in a jar, shook as stated then let sit ....LOVELY! I used fresh carrots from the garden instead of peppers since that was abundantly growing. Will make these often and totally love them! -
I really enjoyed these cucumbers. I only had one cucumber so quartered the recipe. Next time I will make more, they are yummy! Thanks! Made for My Three Chefs event.
