Marinated Cucumber Salad

1 cup white vinegar
1/2 c. sugar or Splenda
2 cloves garlic, peeled and finely chopped
salt & freshly ground pepper
3 large cucumbers, peeled and thinly sliced
1 small red onion, thinly sliced
1 green pepper, cored, seeded and thinly sliced
1/2 c. sour cream

Combine vinegar, sugar, garlic, salt & pepper; stir until sugar dissolved. Stir in cucumbers. You can serve them immediately or marinate them for up to two weeks.

Serve individually on salad plates, topping the cucumbers with some sliced onion and green pepper. Finish with a dollop of sour cream.

 

Note: from the Buffalo News, one of their classics. The best cucumber salad recipe I've found. If you serve it around 3 hours after making it, the vinegar flavor is still "young." If you wait a day or two, the cucumbers are very puckery...
