QUICK PICKLED CUCUMBERS AND ONIONS

yields 4 TO 6, ABOUT 2 cup

ingredients

• 1 medium cucumber
• 1/4 medium red onion
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup rice vinegar
• 1 TBL apple cider vinegar

Instructions

1 Cut your cucumber in half lengthwise. Skin on or off, your call. Then cut each half into a

bunch of half-moons no thicker than .25 inch. Cut the onion into wire-coat-hanger-thin strips

no longer than 2 inches.

2 Throw the cucumber and onion slices into a medium bowl, sprinkle them with the salt, and

rub that all in with your hands. You could use a spoon if you are too cool for school,

but why? Pour in the vinegars and toss.

3 Cover this up and stick it in the fridge for 30 minutes. Stir it around and let it sit for at

least another 30 minutes before it’s go time. They will keep in the fridge for about a week.
