Chilled Cucumber Salad

2 c. sliced cucumbers (about 2 small cucumbers)
2 thin slices onion, separated into rings (or 1 slice if you dislike onion more than I, or none if you really detest it)
1/4 c. water
1/4 c. white vinegar
1 T. sugar
1/2 t. dill weed
1/4 t. black pepper
1 dash cayenne pepper

Combine water and vinegar; stir in sugar until dissolved. Add dill and peppers. Chill for a few hours or overnight. Wash, peel, and thinly slice cucumbers. Slice onion and separate rings. Place cucumber slices and onion rings in a glass serving bowl; sprinkle with salt. Pour dressing over the top; chill for 30 minutes or until serving time.
