Cucumber Salad


This spring I discovered that Naomi loves cucumbers, particularly if I toss them in a little vinegar.  I probably should have guessed sooner, given that she would eat pickles with every meal if I let her.  In any case, this spring we've been making up for lost time and eating lots of cucumber salad.  Now if only our cucumber plant would start growing some cucumbers, and Naomi could eat the ones she's picked with her very own hands, then she would be completely happy. 

Cucumber Salad
serves 2 adults or 1 adult and 2 small children

Ingredients:
  • 1 medium cucumber (about 8 to 10 oz.)
  • 1/8 tsp. sea salt
  • 1/8 tsp. black pepper
  • 1/8 tsp. white sugar
  • 2 tsp. apple cider vinegar OR rice vinegar
Instructions:

Peel the cucumber.  Cut it in half length-wise; then cut each half into thin slices.  Place the cucumber slices in a small bowl.  Sprinkle salt, pepper, sugar, and vinegar over the slices.  Toss to combine.  Serve immediately.
