Ingredients

  • 3 cucumbers
  • 1/3 cup white vinegar
  • 2/3 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper, fresh ground, if possible
  • 1/8 cup onions, finely chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced

Directions

  1. Peel the cucumbers and slice thinly. (The slices must be almost paper thin to fully absorb the dressing).
  2. Combine all the ingredients, making sure the sugar is completely dissolved.
  3. Add the dressing to the cucumber slices and mix well.
  4. Top-off with a little paprika. May be served at room temperature or chilled.
