Cucumbers!

I bought myself a new toy for the kitchen: a mandoline!  In honor of the fact that I can now very thinly slice cucumbers, I decided to make marinated cucumbers:

Marinated Cucumbers

• 1 large cucumber*
• 1 Tbsp salt (use kosher if possible)
• 1 Tbsp sugar
• 1/4 cup white vinegar
• 2 tsp grainy mustard

Wash cucumber and slice very thin (about 1/16").  Place in a collander and sprinkle evenly with salt.  Allow to weep for 30 minutes.  Press out remaining water and put in a large bowl.  In a small bowl, whisk together sugar, vinegar and mustard.  Pour over cucumber slices and mix until evenly coated.  Marinate in the refrigerator for 2-8 hours.  Pour off marinade and store in a covered container in the refrigerator.
