I, too, slice, salt, wring the water out. But I use a bit of vinegar
and sugar and then a gob of sour cream and most times green onions.
You can't taste the sugar. The sugar just rounds the edges of the
vinegar so that you can have the impact of a decent amount of vinegar
without the rough edges. I've only made this salad twice this summer.
My garden just isn't producing enough cucumbers.
