Cucumber and Red Onion Salad

About

This is a slightly enhanced version of a salad I grew up eating for dinner. It was one of my mother's go-to, weeknight salads and she served it with everything from roast chicken to tuna salad. It's quick, easy and also tastes wonderful on sandwiches the next day.
