Just Cucumber Slices

Junebug's Note:

This is a simple recipe to have as a refreshing side dish. It's especially good for picnics, bar-b-ques, potlucks and buffets. If you like your slices on the tart side cut back on the sugar a little bit. Please note it will need to be chilled at least 3 hours.

I think this is really good. However I was the only family member that really liked it. I am going to try it again with a few adjustments, not sure what yet.

I liked this a lot. Very nice recipe. I'll be making this again. I used long. dark green, almost cylindrical cucumbers that I got at an Indian market. While slicing them, they gave off a slight bit of melon (which cucumbers are) aroma. I'll be using those again for sure. After making this, I posted another cucumber recipe, much like this one which is a summer favorite at our house. People who liked this recipe will almost certainly like "Refrigerator Cukes." http://www.recipezaar.com/recipe/refrigerator-cukes-sugar-vinegar-cucumbers-425050
