- Peel the onion and cut it in half and thinly slice half of the onion and put it in the bowl with the cucumber.
- FOR THE DRESSING
- Whisk the ¾ cups vinegar, ¼ cup water, 2 tablespoon lemon juice, ½ teaspoon sugar, and salt and pepper until fully combined.

Notes
- NUTRITION DISCLAIMER
- FOR THE VINEGAR
- We love using champagne or white wine vinegar.
- It has a lighter, more delicate flavor than other white vinegars, so it doesn’t overpower the beautiful freshness of the cucumbers.
- You can use apple cider vinegar if you want a fruitier dressing or distilled white vinegar if you don’t mind a more acidic and sharp dressing.
