Preparation

Step 1

If the cucumbers are waxed, peel them before slicing. If they are not waxed and are chemical-free, leave the skin on. With a fork, score the sides of each cucumber, creating a ruffled edge. Slice thinly.

Layer the sliced cucumbers and onion in a large bowl. Combine the remaining ingredients and blend thoroughly. Pour the dressing over the cucumbers. Cover and chill at least 2 hours. Use a slotted spoon to serve.

This recipe yields 6 servings. Serving size: 2/3 cup.
