I've used this recipe for years.  It's exactly what my Mom used to make. Very quick and very delicious.

One of my fav dishes my Mom always made and served. Mouth watering now thinking about it. Can't wait to try

I love cucumber salad!  My mother, my grandmother and Great Grandmother all made cucumber salad  I love the pepper flakes. I have debated about adding some fresh sweet red pepper. Actually, it good with almost any vegetable.

My grandkids scooped them up.  Good easy recipe.

Exactly how my grandmother made it albeit it was white vinegar and not white wine vinegar. Otherwise identical. YUMMY!

My mom was born in Lithuania and came to the USA in 1920.

She made this type of 'salad' but with sliced scallions (white and greens) and no hot flakes. 

I absolutely love this side ... even as a snack.  I slice the cucs in sliver thinness.  Marinades faster.  Eat sooner. winkwink
