Cucumbers are inexpensive this time of year and they're deliciously refreshing when lightly pickled in this easy sweet 'n' sour dressing. Stashed in the refrigerator, they stay crisp for days and retain their flavourful tang.
Make ahead
Prepare salad. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Salad may water out a little, so drain off some of the liquid before serving.
