A slight variation of the cucumber salad my Japanese grandma used to make. The longer they marinate, the more the cucumbers soak up the flavors, yet stay super crunchy!

- 1 tsp salt shopping list
- 2 tbsp lemon juice shopping list
- 3 tbsp soy sauce shopping list
- 3 tbsp white vinegar shopping list
- 2 1/2 to 3 tbsp sugar shopping list
How to make it
- Halve the cucumbers length wise
- Slice very thinly
- Place cucumbers in medium bowl, add salt
- Let sit 10 minutes. Drain.
- Add remaining ingredients
- Stir until sugar is dissolved
- Serve immediately or chill to serve later!

I used this recipe as part of a brunch last weekend. Once somebody tasted the cukes, they were GONE. It is always a pleasure to give a different take on a food. Thanks for sharing!!

I ABSOLUTELY loved this recipe! I have never had cucumbers dissapear so fast. My cucumbers went limp after a few hours even being refridgerated. Would they stay crisp if you didn't do the salt bath? What exactly is the salt bath for?
