4-5 cucumbers (about 2 pounds)
2 large sweet onions, peeled and sliced very thin
1 tablespoon salt
4 tablespoons distilled white vinegar
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 teaspoons sugar
Peel the cucumbers and cut in half lengthwise. Seed with a teaspoon and cut into thick slices (1/3 inch thick or less). There should be five cups.
Toss with sliced onions and salt. Drain the mixture in a colander for 30 minutes. Rinse the cucumbers briefly, then press gently through fingers to remove most of the water. Place in a bowl and combine with vinegar, oil, sugar, and a dash more salt if needed. Refrigerate and marinate until chilled.
