Cucumber Salad is one of my favorite family side dishes to fix. It can be made ahead, it's simple to prepare and it's so good in the summertime when the cucumbers are fresh and abundant. It's a great salad to take to a barbecue, cook out or fish fry because it goes great with anything from grilled burgers to fried fish. Add this one to your potluck rotation pronto!

In a large bowl combine cucumbers, onions, peppers and salt. Set aside. In a saucepan over medium high heat, combine vinegar, sugar, celery seed and mustard seed.
