  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar or lemon juice

  • 1 teaspoon sugar (optional)

  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Notes

  • English cucumbers are best as they’re less watery.

  • Adjust vinegar and sugar to taste for desired tang and sweetness.

  • Best enjoyed fresh, but can be refrigerated for up to 2 days.
