#2886 - Vinegar Cucumber Salad

(by Shirley McNevich)

3 medium cucumbers (washed, peeled and sliced thin)
1 tsp. salt
1 small onion (washed, peeled and sliced thin and separated)
4 heaping TBSP white sugar
4 TBSP cider vinegar
water

In a bowl add cucumber slices and onion pieces--sprinkle the salt over the top, then toss well. Let them stand for 15 minutes, then drain off the liquid that forms. To the drained mixture add white sugar and cider vinegar--stir well. Add just enough cold water so that the cucumbers and onions are covered, then stir again. Taste the liquid--if too sour add a little more white sugar and stir again. If too sweet add a little more cider vinegar and stir again.
