Day 308- Cucumber Salad

I stole this recipe from my friend, Sofia. Hope you all enjoy it as much as I did!

Cucumber Salad

Ingredients:

• 2 seedless cucumbers
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1/4 cup distilled white vinegar
• 2 teaspoons grainy mustard (if gluten-free make sure it is specified on the label)
• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Directions:

1. Cut cucumbers into thin rounds (a mandolin works great for this)
2. Toss with 2 teaspoons salt in a colander and let drain for about 30 minutes. Squeeze excess liquid from cucumbers
3. Whisk the sugar, vinegar, olive oil and mustard together in a large bowl, then stir in cucumbers.
   
4. Let cucumbers chill for about 2 hours in the mixture
5. Drain cucumbers, saving the excess marinade to pour over cucumbers after serving if you choose.
