Cucumber Carrot Salad

Put cucumbers and carrots into a colander and toss with salt. Let sit and drain in the sink for 30 minutes.

While cucumbers and carrots are draining, peel onion and slice into thin half-moons.

After 30 minutes, use paper towels or a clean kitchen towel to blot cucumbers and carrots dry and press out any excess liquid.

Pour carrots and cucumbers into a large bowl and stir in red onion slices.

Cover and put in the refrigerator to chill for 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
