So many variations only so many cucumbers to be had!

It can be as simply as: cucumbers and vinegar (apple or white, I prefer apple) and sliced onions with pepper. I do not salt this as the salt will leach out water from your cukes and tomatoes and make the mixture, well, watery The addition of tomatoes and/or onions to this can be quite nice. Then you can add a bit of sugar to this if you want yet another variation.

More Variations:

Mix some sour cream, apple cider vinegar to thin a bit, sugar to subtly sweeten, salt and lots of black pepper. Serve fairly soon because of the salt. You can also leave the salt out and add as needed on your plate. Add onions as a variation on this.

Then there is the oil version with LOTS of sugar that is quite good also.

Equal parts white vinegar and sugar, and
half as much regular canola or veggie oil.
Let sit for a few hours.

Just mix you s&p vinegar sugar etc in a food processor with a little oil, then add the mayo a little at atime if it's too thick add oil a touch at a time until it's right.
