DIRECTIONS:

Peel cucumbers and slice about 1/8 - 1/4" thick – spread them on paper towels in a single layer and salt LIGHTLY.  Let them sit for at least an hour at room temperature.  Rinse quickly and pat completely dry.

Combine next 5 ingredients to make the dressing.  Add salt/white pepper to taste.  Store in refrigerator.

When cucumber slices are ready, put them in a Zip-Loc bag and add the dressing.  Refrigerate overnight, massaging gently from time to time.
