A light and tangy cucumber and onion salad, perfect for a refreshing side dish.
Wash and peel the cucumbers, then slice them thinly into a mixing bowl.
Use a mandoline slicer for even and thin slices.
Peel the onion and slice it thinly, adding it to the bowl with the cucumbers.
Soak the onion slices in cold water for a few minutes to reduce their sharpness.
In a separate bowl, mix the vinegar, water, sugar, and salt until the sugar dissolves.
Stir the mixture well to ensure the sugar is fully dissolved.
Pour the dressing over the cucumbers and onions, and toss gently to combine.
Ensure all the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
Chilling allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
Serve the salad cold, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
Fresh dill or parsley makes a great garnish for this salad.
