I was gifted with another LARGE cucumber from Mom's garden the other day, so I decided to try something a little different.  This is another Ur Oma recipe and can best be described as a fresh, not overly sweet relish, OR a shredded cucumber salad.  We love it as a side by itself, on salads, or on sandwiches with coldcuts or with a nice slab of fresh tomato and black pepper.

Ur Oma informed me that when she was growing up, all salads were made in this fashion because there wasn't such a thing as store bought salad dressing... honestly, I'd choose this over store-bought any day.  This is also one of those recipes that isn't exact and is 100% to taste made according to what you have on hand.  I had this HUGE cucumber, and a large sweet onion so I went from there.  I'll include the approximate measurements for how I prefer it this salad to  my own taste preferences.
