Pickled Cucumbers

Despite the title, this is not a recipe for pickles. At least, it's not a recipe for the kinds of pickles that you stick in a jar and leave in your root cellar, assuming you have a root cellar in which to put jars of pickles. Rather, this is a recipe for marinated cucumber slices, a little like the pickled beets we love so much.

This is a recipe Brian grew up with, and I must admit that it is a perfect summer recipe. The cucumber is juicy and the sauce is tangy, and the combination is light and refreshing.
