DILLY CUCUMBER SALAD

Okay, I used to be a prep cook for the Fresh Market. Most things there aren't home-made, or made from scratch. However, the Dilly cucumber salad is! It is also one of the only things I liked that I used to make when I worked there. The Fresh Market uses a bottled vinegar and oil called "Fresh Expressions" if I remember...

This is the best cucumber salad recipe I have found. It tastes better as it sits in the fridge! If you have home grown cucumbers that don't have the waxy coating on them, you don't have to peel.
