Cucumber salad: 1 English cucumber sliced thin and salted (1 t kosher salt) 1/2 red onion soaked in cold water 3 T vinegar of your choice (I used sherry) 1 t honey (I used a little less, can sub sugar if you want) Dill
Let salted cucumbers sit for 5-30 minutes in a colander. Shake them up to drain as much water as possible. Drain red onions. Dissolve honey in vinegar and add cucumbers and onions. Taste for salt and top with dill.
