• Cover mixture with water and stir; let sit for approximately for 20 - 30 minutes (up to 1 hour).

SIMPLE CUCUMBERS AND ONIONS

Steps:

• Combine oil, vinegar, and sugar in a medium to large bowl (big enough to hold all completed salad). Stir until sugar is dissolved (Note: You can heat the dressing to help keep it from separating. It is not necessary, but I do if I have time. If you heat the dressing, be sure to cool it before adding to cucumbers).
