Hi Susie Indy, the first way is the way I do mine sometimes. Other times I do the vinegar thing. You are right. It is so good!

Marinated Cucumbers

1 c. sliced cucumbers
1 c. carrot sticks – I use onion slices divided into rings instead of carrots.
Leftover juice from dill pickles

Place cucumbers and carrots in dill pickle
juice and marinate for several days.

OR use this marinade:
1 c. vinegar
clove garlic
1/4 tsp. dill
1 tsp. salt
1/2 c. water

Refrigerate for several days. Cucumber recipes Nancyskitchen.com
