Cucumber Dill Salad

Cucumber Dill Salad
1 medium cucumber, sliced thinly
1 1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup vinegar
2 tsp dried dillweed (or 2 tbsp fresh)
4 1/2 tsp sugar
1/4 tsp pepper

1. Place cucumber slices in a colander over a large plate. Sprinkle with salt and toss to coat. Let sit for 15 minutes, stirring once. Rinse and drain well.**

2. In a large bowl, combine vinegar, dill, sugar and pepper. Add the cucumbers and toss to coat. Cover, refrigerate and chill for at least 4 hours. The longer you let it chill the better. Overnight is best!

** You may be tempted to skip this step in order to decrease the salt content of the salad. I urge you not to because the salt draws out the extra liquid in the cucumbers and allows them to retain their crispness after being soaked in the dressing.
