PENNSYLVANIA DUTCH CUCUMBERS

Pennsylvania Dutch Cucumbers image

My mom's side of the family was German and Irish. Settling in Pennsylvania, they adopted some of the cooking and customs of the Pennsylvania Dutch. This is a dish Mom loved, and today it's my favorite garden salad. It tastes delicious alongside a plate of homegrown tomatoes. -Shirley Joan Helfenbein, Lapeer, Michigan
