Recipe yields 4 servings

3 large unwaxed Kirby (pickling) cucumbers

1/4 tsp salt

1/4 cup white balsamic vinegar

1/4 cup water

2 Tbsp sugar

1/4 tsp hot sauce (optional)

1/4 cup fresh dill

Directions

Step 1

Trim ends of cucumber and slice thinly. There should be about two cups. Sprinkle salt over the cucumber slices and allow to stand in a colander while you prepare the other ingredients.
Step 2

In a measuring cup, combine vinegar, water, sugar and pepper sauce. Rinse cucumber slices and drain on paper towels. In a large bowl, toss cucumber and dill together with the dressing.
Step 3

The salad can be served immediately but improves if refrigerated for several hours for the flavors to blend.
