Cucumber Salad



4 cucumbers
1/2 thinly shaved medium onion (optional)
1 small clove of garlic
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 cup of good vinegar such as rice or apple cider etc..
3/4 cup of sour cream

Peel cucumbers. Scrape a fork down length of peeled cucumbers to create long groves that will look very nice when you slice cucumbers as thin as possible. Put in mixing bowl. Peel and chop clove of garlic. Add Salt and sugar. Add thinly shaved onions (optional). Add vinegar and sour cream, then toss well. I use my hands, till cucumbers slices and sour cream are all frothy and foamy. Place in serving dish and sprinkle a little paprika on top for decoration, and serve well chilled. This will stay good in refrigerator for several days.

Serves 4.
