"This easy-fix recipe was found @ epicuriousdotcom & entered here for play during Culinary Quest #4. 4 cups was noted as the batch yield, so I entered 8 servings of 1/2 cup ea. Times do not include standing, cooling or marinating times. Enjoy!"
Score cucumbers lengthwise w/a fork & slice thin, preferably w/a slicing disk of a food processor. In a lrg bowl, toss cucumbers w/salt & let stand 1 hr.
In a sml saucepan, bring vinegar & water to a boil w/sugar, garlic & dill seed, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Let dressing cool.
In a colander, drain cucumbers & rinse under cold water. Drain well, squeezing out excess liquid. In a bowl, combine cucumbers w/dressing & marinate (covered) at least 1 hr & up to 6 hrs. (After about 2 hrs cucumber skin will discolor, but there will be no effect on flavor.)
