Dill Pickle Cucumber Slices
Makes 1- 1/3 cups
Recipe from Sara Moulton

Ingredients:

One 5-to 6 inch-inch piece seedless ( English) cucumber

Note: I used 4-6 small kirby cucumbers

2 tablespoons fresh dill leaves or 1 teaspoon dried

2 tablespoons cider vinegar

1- 1/2 teaspoons sugar

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Directions:

Thinly slice enough of the cucumber to make 1-1/3 cups.  Finely chop the dill (about 1 tablespoon).  Combine the cucumber with the vinegar, dill, sugar, salt, and pepper in a small nonreactive bowl.  Set it aside at room temperature and use within an hour, or cover and refrigerate for later use.

Enjoy!
