Growing up I can remember my parents going to the Farmer’s Market during the spring or summer and coming home and declaring that, “Tonight we only eat veggies”!  Ick I remember thinking.  What kid wants only vegetables for dinner? Well, of course the older you get the more you like your vegetables and I am no exception.  One of the dishes I remember my mom making was pickled cucumbers.  I know, you are saying, Pickles.  Well, yes, but not really.  These are quick pickled cucumbers and they are so fresh and tangy and light.   They go perfect with any spring/summer BBQ you might be having or attending.

You need to slice the cucumbers thin so they “pickle” quickly. You either a very sharp paring knife or a mandolin. I have linked a mandolin I like.  It is one of those tools you will use over and over again. They are not expensive and so worth it!
