Rice Vinegar Cucumber and Onion

• Wash and peel your cucumber if you wish to not have skin. (I usually do the "every other" peel version, but you can peel your cucumber completely if you wish)
  2 whole Cucumbers

Milking The Cucumbers

• Next "milk" your cucumber. You will want to cut just the tip off the cucumber, and hold it to the exposed end, using a circular motion, start rubbing the two pieces together. Do this until you start to see a milky substance form around the edges.

  **This is called "milking" as you can see while you are doing this it starts to create a milky substance around the edges. What this process does is remove all the bitterness from the cucumber, leaving the sweetness.**

• Now cut your cucumbers into thin slices. Not paper thing but not too thick.

• At this point you can decide to leave them whole or cut them in half again.

  **I sometimes like to cut them in half again because I usually end up doing that when I'm eating the salad anyway. But you do not have to.**
