Ingredients

• 2 cucumbers, thinly sliced (you can peel the cucumbers, if desired)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 onion (white, red or yellow), sliced
• 2 tablespoons vinegar
• sour cream (2 tablespoons to 1/4 cup)

Here's how to make it:

1. Put the cucumber slices into a bowl. Sprinkle them with the salt. Let them sit about 5 minutes and then pat with paper towels to remove moisture. (Slice the cucumbers on a cutting board with a sharp knife or use a mandoline food slicer.)
2. Add the onions. Drizzle with the vinegar. Add the sour cream until desired creaminess is achieved. Season with pepper, if desired. (For a little spice, add some crushed red pepper flakes or a pinch of cayenne. For even more flavor, use seasoned salt. Not a fan of sour cream? Use light mayonnaise or Greek yogurt.)
3. Chill until ready to serve. Store the cucumber salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
