Mom's Cucumber Salad

4 cucumbers, sliced
1/4 medium sweet onion, chopped
1/2 cup mayonaise and/or sour cream or yogurt
3 T. red wine or cider vinegar, to taste
salt and pepper

Whisk the onions, mayonaise, vinegar and salt and pepper together in a bowl. Taste and add more vinegar if necessary. You should be able to taste it but it shouldn't pucker up your lips.

Add the cucumbers and toss to cover with the dressing. Let marinate in the frig for about 1 hour. The salt will draw some of the moisture out of the cucumbers. Stir before serving.

Note: Do not use too much mayonnaise at first; you can always add more. As the cucumbers sit in the salt they tend to make their own liquid.

Excellent with grilled chicken and roasted corn.
