Cool Cucumber Salad

4 cucumbers, thinly sliced
1 small white onion, thinly sliced
1 cup white vinegar
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup white sugar
1 tablespoon dried dill, or to taste

Directions

Peal and thinly slice cucumbers and put them in a bowl. Sprinkle the cucumbers with about 1/2 - 1 tsp. of salt. Let sit for at least 30 minutes with some kind of a weight on top. This helps bring the "water" out of the cucumber which gives a better texture and flavor. Pour out the excess water. Toss together the cucumbers and onion in a large bowl. Combine the vinegar, water and sugar in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, and pour over the cucumber and onions. Stir in dill, cover, and refrigerate until cold. This can also be eaten at room temperature, but be sure to allow the cucumbers to marinate for at least 1 hour.
