My wife made this salad yesterday. She accidentally added 3tsp of pepper instead of one and thought she'd ruined it. *I* thought it was fantastic, and very different from the boring cucumber salads I've had in the past. (Note: I have not yet tried CTJ's recently posted cucumber salad. Soon, though!) It reminded me a little of a Bloody Mary and is how I'll make this salad from now on. Of course, not everyone likes pepper.

ALSO: My wife soaked the onion in water for 5 minutes after slicing it. She says that this is a trick for weakening onions' otherwise overpowering flavor.
