Peel 2 large cucumbers. Run the tines of a fork lengthwise down each cucumber so that you make little grooves all along the circumference. Slice very thin into a large bowl. Cover with salted water (a teaspoon or so to amount of water needed to cover). Let stand for several hours in refrigerator. Drain and add 1 very thinly sliced large onion. Cover with the following marinade:
  • 1 1/2 c. water
  • 3/4 c. white vinegar
  • 3/4 c. sugar
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
Procedure

Combine 4 marinade ingredients and pour over vegetables. Let stand in refrigerator for a few hours (or a few days). At serving time, drain. Put in glass serving dish and sprinkle with fresh parsley. When covered with marinade this keeps well for 2 weeks covered in refrigerator.
