Cucumber Salad


This is a real simple side salad to make on those hot summer days.  It's light, refreshing and goes perfectly with a beautiful steak.

Ingredients

1 Large cucumber,    onion,     vinegar,     granulated sugar (or healthy substitute like Stevia or Coconut Palm Sugar),     salt,     pepper,

Assembling

Wash and peel cucumber.  If the cucumbers are fresh you can leave the skin on if you prefer it though it looks nicer without.  Slice cucumber in 1/8 thickness place in bowl.  Slice onion in the same fashion, leaving in rings to keep the 'round' theme going.  

Splash on vinegar, just enough to cover cucumbers.  Sprinkle lightly with sugar, salt and pepper.  Let stand for 1/2 - 1 hour before serving.

This is also a great side if you are trying to watch those calories, you can control how much sugar you use.
