  1. Slice cucumbers thin and place in a large bowl. (We use a mandoline.)

  3. Sprinkle salt over top. Let sit for 2 hours, or until there is a large amount of liquid in the bowl, almost covering the cucumbers.
  4. Drain cucumbers and onion and rinse with cold water. (Taste test here. You can always rinse again if it seems too salty.)
