Simple Cucumber Salad
Author Notes

Whenever mom had extra cucumbers lying around, they usually got thrown into a vinegary bath of goodness. I remember always sneaking into the fridge and grabbing the round slices with my fingers, the tangy brightness addicting. I also remember my mom always yelling... "USE A FORK!" Here is my spin. —TheFritschKitchen

    Seriously??? What do the cloves add to this recipe??? I made this and couldn't believe how the cloves completely were so foreign when I tried the salad that I thought who decided those were ever necessary??? Bizarre and it ruins the whole salad.
