Agurkesalat (Cucumbers in Vinegar)

“Having a mandolin slicer that can make very thin slices is almost a requirement for this, unless you have a lot of patience. But, if it came down to it, these would be worth it. My Grandma brings this traditional Danish side dish for Thanksgiving every year. They are one of my Dad’s particular favorites, but are loved by all.” – April Ferre
