Dilly Cucumber Salad image

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...

1 1/2 c olive oil, extra virgin
1 Tbsp salt
1/2 Tbsp ground black pepper
4 clove garlic, pressed and chopped
