Cucumbers and onions

I went to the farmers' market. I am turning all of my farmers' bounty into yummies.

This was my first stab at making cucumbers and onions from scratch. Normally, I just slice 'em up and add Italian dressing. Not as good.

I had two medium-sized cucumbers and a nice sized onion. I sliced them all into thin slices and put them in a medium-sized bowl and covered them with a few grinds of the salt grinder.

Then I added about a 1/2 cup of vinegar, 2 T of sugar and 1 T of olive oil. And another little grind of salt.

And then I let them sit for several hours. Amazing. Like pickles, but quicker and no boiling mason jars.
