This is a family favorite in the summer- cool refreshing cucumbers that have a nice pickled bite, but not overwhelmingly "vineagary".  I have been asked for this recipe countless times, so here it is friends :)

YIELD:  Makes 8 servings

ACTIVE TIME:  20 min

TOTAL TIME:  1 1/2 hr

INGREDIENTS

• 2 seedless cucumbers (1 1/2 to 1 3/4 pounds total)
• 1 tablespoon sugar or ½ tablespoon stevia
• 1/4 cup distilled white vinegar
• 2 teaspoons coarse grain mustard
• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons fresh chopped dill
• Equipment: an adjustable-blade slicer

PREPARATION

1. Cut cucumbers into thin (1/16-inch) rounds with slicer. Toss with 2 teaspoons salt in a colander with a bowl underneath to catch the liquid, then drain 30 minutes. Squeeze excess liquid from cucumbers.
2. Whisk together sugar, vinegar, and mustard in a large bowl, then stir in cucumbers. Marinate, covered & chilled, at least 2 hours.
3. Drain cucumbers, reserving marinade, and mound onto serving dish. Whisk oil into reserved marinade and drizzle over salad.
4. Sprinkle with fresh chopped dill.
5. Cucumbers can be marinated, chilled, up to 1 day.
