For a sweeter salad, increase the sugar to 1.5 teaspoons. If you don't have distilled white vinegar, apple cider vinegar can be used as a substitute. Start with 1/4 teaspoon and adjust to taste. Consider using a mandoline for uniformly thin cucumber slices. Red onion adds a more pungent flavor if you prefer. This salad is best served fresh; the cucumbers will release water as they sit.
