I was once married to a Hungarian-his mum was THE best cook I've ever known! This came mightly close to her cucumber salad so I enjoyed it very, very much. I made a quarter of the recipe as a small side for two of us. I shaved the cuc on my mandolin, then gave it a bit of a squeeze to get rid of some of the excess juice. Shall definately make this again.

I have been making this dish for years, let it sit in the fridge overnight and the flavor will only get better.

Have made this for many years. We squeeze the cukes to get rid of ext ra liquid. Have added thinly sliced onions and sometimes small tomatoes. The longer they sit the better they are

We have been eating a lot of cucumbers lately so I have been tyring different recipes. I followed the recipe exactly as written but for us the vinegar was too overpowering or maybe there just wasn't enough sugar to balance it out. Ours were also really watery.
