This is a yummy easy sort of pickled sweet & sour cucumber dish...quick to make.

Though the recipe calls for English hothouse cucumbers, you can really use any kind. I used a mandolin to slice them really thin. I eased up on the salt a little, and on the dill, because I don't love-love it.

Recipe For Sweet and Sour Cucumbers With Fresh Dill
Ingredients

2 English hothouse cucumbers (1 1/2 pounds total), unpeeled, very thinly sliced
1 tablespoon coarse kosher salt
1/2 cup distilled white vinegar
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh dill
3 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Directions

    Place cucumber slices in colander. Sprinkle with salt; toss to coat. Let stand 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
    Meanwhile, for dressing, stir vinegar, dill, sugar, and pepper in large bowl until sugar is dissolved.
    Drain cucumbers well; pat dry. Add cucumbers to dressing and stir to blend.
    Refrigerate at least 15 minutes and up to 2 hours; serve cold.

Well, I made some refrigerator pickles today...two quarts of dill, two quarts of bread and butter...they have to set for a day or so then I can try them...sooo dang many different recipes online that I had a hard time deciding...why do bread and butter generally call for turmeric but dills don't?...what does turmeric do anyway?
searching for that lost shaker of salt...

Slice them up and dip them in Ranch dressing.

You're welcome.  :)
