Cucumber Salad

This salad works best when you do the first part a day or so in advance. It really helps if it sits. I make the two "pre-mixtures" in ziplock bags which makes it easy to drain them and easy to clean up!

Prep time- 5-10 minutes minutes
Cooking Time- None but it should sit over night before you serve it
Feeds - depends how much you make

Number of things that get dirty- 3
chef knife
cutting board
serving bowl

Ingredients
2 cucumbers (or enough for about 2 cups of thin slices)
1 small onion
1 tsp cider vinegar
2 pinches of salt
1 pinch of sugar
2 tbls dill
2 tbls water
2 ziplock bags

slice cucumber into really thin slices and put into a ziplock bag
add 1 pinch of salt
seal and stick in the fridge for at least a few hours

slice onion into small pieces
add 1 pinch of salt
add 1 pinch of sugar
seal and stick in the fridge for at least a few hours

add dill to cider vinegar and stick in the fridge for at least a few hours

drain the liquid out of both bags and pour the remaining contents into a bowl
add vinegar and dill
