A refreshing and creamy cucumber and onion salad, perfect for a light side dish.
Peel the cucumbers and slice them thinly using a mandolin slicer.
Using a mandolin ensures even slices, which helps with consistent texture.
Peel and thinly slice the onion.
For a milder onion flavor, soak the slices in cold water for a few minutes.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sugar, vinegar, salt, and pepper until smooth.
Adjust the seasoning to taste before combining with the vegetables.
Combine the cucumber and onion slices in a large bowl.
Toss gently to avoid breaking the cucumber slices.
Pour the dressing over the vegetables and mix until evenly coated.
Ensure all slices are well coated for maximum flavor.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
Marinating allows the flavors to meld and enhances the overall taste.
Serve chilled as a refreshing side dish.
Garnish with fresh herbs like dill or parsley for added flavor.
