Cucumbers for Relish
Ingredients
Directions
Cut away the bitter end of the cucumbers and peel off the skin to remove the green portion.
Score the cucumbers lengthwise with a fork and place them in an earthen bowl.
Sprinkle the cucumbers generously with salt and refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours.
Rinse the cucumbers in ice water, press dry, and slice them thinly.
Serve the sliced cucumbers with French salad dressing on the side.
