For someone who's not really a cucumber fan, I tell you what, this is a great side dish. Our grocery store unexpectedly bestowed upon us a free cucumber. I don't really like cucumbers and would have preferred cheese or chocolate, but I took my gifted cucumber and made cucumberaide, so to speak... I mean, talk about sweet, crunchy, and refreshing, this salad is going to do well for us in the summer. I've become slightly more of a cucumber fan. Just slightly (but a huge fan of this salad).

Ingredients:
1 small cucumber , thinly sliced (lengthwise or crosswise) with a vegetable peeler
1 small red onion , sliced (I never have red onion since white is so much cheaper, I slice a white onion very thinly)
2 tsp sugar
3 Tbsp favorite vinegar
pinch of salt

Directions:
Slice cucumber, sprinkle with salt and place in a colander to lose excess moisture

Slice onion and mix with vinegar and sugar

Add cucumber and chill for 1 hour at least.

Cucumber-haters out there, beware!
