Marinated Cucumbers
The first summer I grew my own garden, our cucumbers did especially well. We had so many and I had to figure out ways to use them. One night, we were invited to dinner at a friend's house. I asked if I could bring something and they said a salad. Since I had an abundance of cucumbers, I made a cucumber salad. Everyone really enjoyed it. I have since changed my recipe a bit and now call it "Marinated Cucumbers." Enjoy!
