Description:
If you like the summertime salad of cucumbers and onions you should try this. the thinly sliced vegatables meld their flavors together very well.

Ingredients:

1 each Red Onion, Thinly sliced
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground mustard
1 Large Cucumber, Thinly sliced
1/2 cup White Vinegar
1/2 teaspoon turmeric, ground
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1/3 cup water
1/3 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons sugar

Slice the onions and cucumbers thin as for a slaw. I use a mandolin to do this. Add the other ingredients, mix well and put in a covered container to marinate in fridge overnight.

I seldom measure ingredients when doing this instead taste the dressing and adjust until you have the right flavor.
Dressing should be sweet and sour with a little zip.
