Cucumber Salad

When the cucumbers start coming in from the garden, Cucumber Salad becomes a solid side for many of the rich meats that get cooked during the Summer.  The sweet acid hit you get from it is perfect for breaking up the richness of a steak or even grilled chicken thighs.  After the salad has sat in the refrigerator, I tend to store leftovers without the juice, to help keep the cucumbers crisp the next day.
