Pickled Cucumbers (Salt-Free Pickles) image

A great recipe for those living a low sodium diet. Comes from The No-Salt Cookbook. These taste wonderful and keep well in the fridge. What's better??? No one will know they are salt free! The cookbook recommends making these in a stainless steel bowl, but glass will work too. NOTE: After you have chilled down the pickled cucumbers , feel free to throw in some chunked up tomatoes which taste divine in this marinade too!
