Daily double dose of cucumbers

I have found myself obsessed with pinrtrest.com lately...my favorite is new recipes. So I found the recipe of 2 pretty tasty cucumber salads..I decided to make them both the same day, considering i needed mostly the same ingredients.

Cucumber Salad #1
Ingredients
Cucumbers ( i used 3 and split between the two)
1 sm onion
1 Cup vinegar
1/2 Cup water
1/4 Cup sugar ( i used less, but it tasted a bit too vinegary)
2 tablespoons FRESH dill
salt and pepper
Steps
1. Boil vinegar, water, and sugar (set aside to cool)
2. Slice and sweat cumcumbers
         ~to sweat means to liberally apply salt and allow water to drain..about 20 mins then rinse with water & dry
3. Put cucumbers, onions, and dill in a bowl
4. Add pepper ( you most likely won't need added salt bc the cucumbers still have a salty taste from sweating
5. Pour cool vinegar mixture over the cucumbers
5. Stir & marinate in the fridge for at least 1 hr.

This salad sort of tasted like a sweet and sour pickle
