Cucumber Salad

This recipe is inspired by the cucumber salad at the Bamboo Club. Its super yum and this version is as close as I can get to recreating it. Serve with edamame and some lo mein and you are all set.....

2 English cucumbers ( these are the ones that come wrapped in plastic)
1 small red onion
1 1/2 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
1 teaspoon sugar
2 teaspoons dried dill or fresh

Slice the cucumbers lenghwise, remove seeds ( or buy seedless) and slice thin. Thinly slice the onion. In a colander, toss the cucumbers and onion with the salt and let is sit and drain for 20 minutes. Press the liquid out of the vegetables and rinse well with cold water.
In a medium bowl, combine the vinegar and sugar and stir well. Add the cucumber mixture and toss to coat. Stir in the dill.
