Cucumber Salad

Labor Day Country Cucumber Salad

Nothin' fancy---easy as pie! And so refreshing on a hot afternoon.

1 Onion -- thinly sliced
1/2 cup White Vinegar
1/4 cup Sugar
1/4 teaspoon Salt
1/8 teaspoon Pepper
Cucumbers, 2 large

Slice cucumbers crosswise very thinly (use a slicing machine or a mandolin if available); put into glass serving dish. Add onion and mix well. Whisk remaining ingredients in small bowl until sugar is dissolved; pour over cucumbers and onions and mix well. Cover and refrigerate at least 24 hours before using, stirring occasionally.
Serves: 6
