Cucumber Salad



2 medium cucumbers, peeled and sliced very thin

1 Tbs. salt

1/2 small Vidalia or other sweet onion or 1 small yellow onion, sliced very thin

4 tsp. red-wine vinegar

2 Tbs. vegetable oil

Freshly ground black pepper

3 Tbs. snipped fresh dill



Put the cucumbers in a colander and sprinkle with about 1-1/2 tsp. of the salt, tossing to distribute

evenly. Put the onion in a small bowl and sprinkle with the remaining 1-1/2 tsp. salt, adding about

1 tsp. of the vinegar as well -- the salt and vinegar will mellow the bite of the raw onion. Let the

vegetables stand for at least 10 min. and up to 30 min. and then rinse them in cool water and

gently squeeze out excess moisture, blotting with paper towels if necessary.



Mix the cucumbers and onions. Add the oil, the remaining 1 Tbs. vinegar and a good grind of fresh

pepper. Taste and add more vinegar if you like. Toss well with the dill. Chill for at least 30 min. and

serve chilled as a condiment-type salad with the chicken.
