#3297 - Cucumber and Onion Salad

(by Shirley McNevich)

3 large cucumbers (washed, peeled and sliced thin)
1 white onion (washed, sliced thin and separated)
1/2 cup white sugar
1 cup white vinegar
2 cups water
1 TBSP pepper (LESS if you wish)
salt to your taste

In a bowl add white sugar, white vinegar, water, pepper and salt--stir well. Alternate making layers of cucumber slices, then onion slices in a 2 qt. casserole dish. Keep alternating layers until you run out of cucumber slices and onions. Slowly pour the vinegar mixture all over the cucumbers/onions. If the mixture does not cover everything, make a second batch of the white vinegar mixture and pour over the cucumber/onion mixture. Place the lid on the casserole dish and refrigerate overnight. The next day, taste--add more salt if necessary.
