Cucumber and Onion salad
cucumber, sliced (I like to use about 5 or 6 of the little snack size cucumbers - or you can use 1-2 English cucumbers)
about ½ onion, sliced or chopped (I prefer vidalia or a sweet onion)
½ cup cold water
½ cup white vinegar
2 tsp. sugar (may use Splenda)
1 tsp. salt
black pepper to taste
you may mince in a clove of garlic if you like (sometimes I do, sometimes I don't)
This salad is best assembled a bit ahead of time. This allows the flavors to sort of marinate and deepen. A wonderful summer salad to whip up. Goes with so many summer meals.
