Story

I have a couple cucumber salad recipes which are marinated in an oil/vinegar mix and have found that whenever I make any of these salads, the key is fresh fresh fresh cucumbers! If your cucumbers don't have that "cucumber smell" when you cut into them, you may as well just use them in a green salad covered in ranch style of Italian dressing.
Also, I don't bother buying seedless cucumbers because they don't have as much flavor as regular cucumbers. If the seeds seem a bit large, just scoop them out of the cucumber before proceeding with the salad.
