This is my great grandma's recipe so you can thank her...
Cucs and Onions
1 regular English Cucumber - washed and thinly sliced
1 red onion - thinly sliced
4 tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar
1/3 C. oil of choice
2 tsp fresh dill (or 1/2 tsp dried)
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp sugar
Few cracks of fresh pepper
Combine cucumber and onions in bowl. Chop dill and top with a few cracks of pepper. Mix together vinegar, oil, salt and sugar.
Drizzle over bowl.
Toss to combine.
Let sit at room temperature for at least 2 hours before serving, tossing occasionally. Chill leftovers. They'll keep for about 5 days in the fridge. The red onion can sometimes bleed into the dressing turning everything a pinky hue so if you're going to be making this ahead of time, I'd recommend no more than 24 hours in advance.
Variations: Toss in some fresh tomatoes before serving along with some crumbled feta for a delicious greek salad.
