Making cucumber water is pretty simple: 1  Slice a cleaned, peeled (or unpeeled depending on your preference) cucumber into 1/2 inch slices. 2  Combine cucumber slices in water, and type with ice. Allow to marinate for at least an hour.
Combine your wafer thin sliced cucumbers, sliced onion, and mix them together in a bowl with salt. Let the cucumber mixture sit in the refrigerator for 1 -2 hours. Drain salty liquid and squeeze out as much liquid as you can without squishing your cucumbers. In a small bowl combined the mayonnaise, vinegar and sugar. Pour the dressing over the cucumber mixture, add chopped tomatoes and stir together. Sprinkle a bit of fresh cracked pepper over the salad. Serve immediately.
