Ingredients:  
2 English cucumbers
2 T. sugar
Handful of ice cubes
1/4 c. rice vinegar, Champagne vinegar, apple cider vinegar or distilled white vinegar
Several pinches of flaky salt
Several grinds of black pepper, optional
2 T. snipped fresh dill, mint or chives, or a mixture, optional
1/2 Vidalia or 1015 onion, sliced into thin half-moons, optional
Directions:
Directions:
Cut off the ends of the cucumbers and use the tines of a fork to draw long stripes down their lengths. Slice the cucumbers like bread-and-butter pickles, about 1/8-inch thick, and pile them into a large shallow bowl. Sprinkle the sugar over the cucumbers and stir in well. Scatter the ice cubes over the slices and cover the bowl loosely with plastic wrap. Chill in the freezer for 1/2 hour.

Drain the cucumbers in a colander and pat dry with a clean kitchen towel. Put the cucumbers back in the bowl, sprinkle the vinegar over them evenly, and stir well. Add the salt and pepper, if using, and stir well to combine. Toss in the herbs and the onions, if using.

Refrigerate until ready to serve. They will still be good the next day, though not quite as crisp.
