Cucumber and Onion Salad

Description: This is a very easy side salad for a picnic or covered dish event. My mom kept this going in our frig all summer. I think she got the cucumbers from an aunt and uncle that had a farm nearby.

Ingredients:

• 2 -3 large cucumbers
• 1 medium white onion
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 cup white vinegar
• 2 cups water
• 1 tablespoon pepper
• salt

Steps:

1. You will need a 2 quart jar with lid or other 2 quart container.
2. Cut the ends off the cucumbers and peel along the long edge in 3-4 strips to leave a sort of stripped cucumber.
3. Slice the cucumber in thin rounds.
4. Peel and slice the onion in thin slices and separate.
5. Put the cucumber and onion alternately in your jar/container.
6. Add the rest of the ingredients and cover your jar/container tightly and gently turn so the ingredients are mixed together.
7. Refrigerate overnight and serve cold.
