Ingredients

6 mini cucumbers (or 1 English cucumber)

1/4 or a large sweet onion (, or red onion )

3 tablespoons white vinegar

1 teaspoon granulated sugar

1 teaspoon red wine vinegar

salt and freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

Step 1
Slice cucumbers into thin slices. Slice the wedge of sweet onion into very thin slices. Place veggies in a large bowl.
Step 2
Marinade: In a small bowl combine the vinegar, sugar, red wine vinegar, salt and pepper. Taste the dressing--it's easy to adapt it if you want it to be a little sweeter or more tangy.
Step 3
Pour dressing over veggies and toss to combine. For best results, allow the mixture to marinate for at least an hour before serving.
