Directions:
You need not peel the cucumber if you are using greenhouse or burp-less cukes. But if you are using pickles from the garden, it's best to peel them because the skins are tough and often bitter.
Slice the cucumbers and onion, crosswise, 1/8 inch thick. Layer the slices in a bowl, sprinkling each layer with some of the salt. Let stand 30 min. or longer.
Drain the sliced cucumbers and onion thoroughly in a sieve, then put into a serving bowel. Sprinkle the sugar over the cucumber and onion, then pout the vinegar over all. Season to taste with pepper. Top with the ice cubes. let stand 10-15 min. tossing a couple of times. Garnish with the chopped dill weed if desired.

Personal Notes:
You can serve sliced tomatoes and cucumbers prepared in one of several ways at dinner or supper every day through the summer. There are several members of the family that would eat cucumbers with salt anytime.
