Cucumbers -N- Cream Salad

Nothing says Summer like cucumbers.  They're cool, crisp and fresh.  Perfect for a salad side dish.  Soaking the cucumber slices in salt water first keeps them extra crispy, and adds flavor.  Combine just a few simple ingredients and you have a super salad, that screams Summer!
