use purple onion, it makes it look even nicer.

Ooh red onion sounds good, but the kid hates onion. Don't feel like picking them out for him.

I added black pepper. Will have to have to try dill next time.

I made this salad and definately (for typical cucumber salad) calls for onions... Also felt I had to add more sugar and vinegar (and salt) came out great and keeps fresh a long time!

I don't use garlic or red pepper, but do use red onion (if I have it around) I make it at least 24 hours in advance.

I'd love to make this salad., but I refuse to buy cucumbers at the moment because of the cost. A couple of months ago they were three for £1, now they are priced at £1.49 each. Exploding anger
So I'll stick with what is in season instead.....
