Cucumber Salad

I always serve this with BBQ chicken.

• 2 seedless cucumbers
  
• 1 medium sweet onion, such as a Vidalia or Maui
  
• 1/4 c mayonnaise
  
• splash red wine vinegar
  
• pinch of sugar
  
• salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
  

1. Using a mandoline, slice the cucumber into thin rounds. The rounds should be somewhat translucent and just thick enough to be crispy and hold their shape instead of limp.

2. Slice the onions the same way.

3. Toss the cucumbers and onions in a bowl with the vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper. Set aside to macerate.

4. Drain most of the liquid from the cucumber mixture and stir in the mayonnaise. Adjust seasonings and balance to taste.
