Drain the water and put them in a bowl. Can also add sour cream or another way is to cut up onions, add them to the cucumbers and add vinegar. Can leave a bowl out all day and pick at them for a snack or put them in container and take them to golf and snack on them during the game, etc.
Crazy but they are good. That was his snack up to and over being 100.  |
Very low cal and healthy (even with the sour cream) as compared to other processed food snacks. Was he Polish or Ukrainian? They mix sour cream in with their cukes.....very similar as to how you described it above.
Cucumbers were served very often in many different ways.........as well.
