For a slightly different flavor profile, try adding a pinch of red pepper flakes for a hint of spice. If you don't have sweet onions, yellow onions can be used, but soak them in cold water for 10 minutes before slicing to reduce their sharpness. These cucumbers are best enjoyed within 2-3 days of marinating.
