Selada Ketimun dan Bawang (Pickled Cucumber and Onion Salad). Mix together and chill before serving. Mom says that she has modified this basic recipe to make it more to her taste by using a medium to large cucumber, a small onion, 1/2 tsp salt, 1 Tbsp sugar, 4 to 5 Tbsp vinegar, 1/2 cup water, and "a sprinkling" of pepper. She says to adjust depending on the strength of the vinegar, what balance of sweet and sour you like, etc. Also, she adds thinly sliced carrots and small cauliflower florets when she has them.
