1lbs cucumber sliced super thin
2 Tbs rice vinegar
1 Tbs agave
2 cloves of garlic
1.5 cups water
2 tsp salt,
pepper, paprika to taste
slice the cucumbers as thin as possible salt them and put it aside for about 10 minutes. make your dressing during it's marinating. in a large bowl put the water, crushed garlic, agave and taste it it should be very sweet and sour at the same time, you can add more vinegar or agave if you feel that is not sour or sweet enough add some crushed pepper. after 10 minutes squeeze the cucumber in your palms above the sink to let all the excess salt water out you can even transfer it to a colander and rinse it if you want a real low sodium version. transfer the squeezed cucumbers to the bowl with the vinegar dressing in it there should be enough liquid to cover the cucumbers. put in the fridge and chill it for at least an hour so it's nice and cold and the flavors have time to marinate the cucumbers, serve with a little paprika sprinkled on top.
