Cucumber and Red Onion Salad I

From Katherine Deumling of Cook With What You Have

Serves 4-6 as a side

You want to soak the onions in ice water for 20 minutes to reduce their pungency (unless you like a lot of bite).

Cucumbers go well with a variety of herbs and flavors. Dill is a common one but, parsley, basil, and cilantro are excellent too so play around with these ideas. 

¼ of an onion (or however much you want/need to use), diced (soak with onions in ice water for 10-20 minutes –see headnote)

1 large cucumber, (about 1 pound), sliced lengthwise in quarters and then sliced into ¼ inch chunks.

¼ cup finely chopped parsley

2 tablespoons (or to taste) rice wine vinegar or 3-4 teaspoons red wine vinegar

2 tablespoons olive oil

sea salt

freshly ground pepper 

Mix all ingredients together well, adjust seasoning to taste and enjoy.
