Cucumber Salad from Mom Rose's Recipe

Ingredients:

• 2 Cucumbers ( will make enough for approximately 2-4 people )
  
• 1 medium Onion
  
• 1 small green Pepper
  
• salt
  
• Paprika ( sweet) approximately 1 Tbsp
  
• Apple Cider Vinegar to taste
  
• whipping cream, enough to make the sauce nice and creamy
  

This is how you do it:

1. Peel, then slice the cucumbers ( I use a mandolin ) as thin as possible
   
   
2. Do the same with the onion and green pepper
   
   
3. Salt these ingredients ( I use Kosher salt ) mix well, then let stand for approximately 3-4 hours covered with plastic wrap.
   
   
4. After 3-4 hours take a handful of the cucumbers and squeeze the liquid out, then place into a larger bowl, repeat until all the cucumbers etc. are squeezed.
   
   
5. Using the Apple cider vinegar, start with about 3-4 Tbsp, taste to your liking add more if desired.
   
   
6. Add the Paprika, mix with vinegar and cucumbers.
   
   
7. Add about 1/4 cup of whipping cream, again check the taste to your liking.
