Notes
You can substitute white vinegar, red wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar for the lemon juice and vegetable oil for the olive oil. Can also use your favorite Italian dressing in place of homemade. Add chopped red onion for extra flavor, if desired.
If using regular cucumbers, peel and seed them first.
