steps
- Scrape tines of a fork along sides of cucumber to create small channels in the skin. Using a mandolin, cut cucumber into paper-thin slices.
- Combine all other ingredients in medium bowl. Whisk to dissolve and add cucumbers. Let cucumbers sit in pickling liquid for at least 1 hour. The longer they remain in the liquid, the softer they will become.
