Ingredients
4 to 5 cucumbers (approximately 2 lbs)
2 large sweet onions, peeled and sliced very thin
1 tablespoon salt
4 tablespoons distilled white vinegar
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 teaspoons sugar
½ teaspoon salt, if needed
Directions
Peel cucumbers and cut in halves. Seed them with a teaspoon. Cut into thin slices (no more than ⅓ inch thick). You should have 5 cups.
Toss with sliced onion and the tablespoon of salt. Drain the mixture in a colander for half an hour.
Rinse the cucumbers briefly, then press them gently through fingers to extrude most of the water. Place in a bowl and combine with vinegar, oil, sugar and a bit more salt if needed. Marinate or serve right away. Makes 8 servings.
