Grandma's Famous Cucumber Salad

Grandma's Famous Cucumber Salad


(In loving memory of my Grandmother who always made this side dish whenever there was a family gathering.  She would slice the cucumber by hand and you could see right through each slice.  She was an amazing woman)


Ingredients:
Cucumbers
Salt
Lime juice

Grandma would always peel the cucumber before grating it, but through the years I have left the skin on as my kids don't seem to mind and there is more nutrients in the skin.

Take your washed cucumber and grate it using a grater (the largest slice section)
Once grated, add the juice of 2 limes or 4 - 5 tbsp of lime juice from a bottle.  Fresh lime is ideal, but I didn't have any on hand.

Afterwards, add 2 tsp of salt (approx.) it should be salty ;-)  As my Grandmother would always say, you can never have enough salt.
