Cucumber and Red Onion Salad

I could eat a cucumber salad every day (and at the rate my cucumber plants are growing in my garden this year, I might have to). I've just discovered my newest favorite--it doesn't have sugar in it, but the result is faintly sweet--maybe it's the cucumbers' sweetness coming through. Anyway, try it for your next luncheon or when you need a little something extra with dinner. As with most cucumber salads, it can be made a few hours ahead. For other cucumber salads, check the salads index.
