If the cucumbers are waxed, peel them before slicing. If they are not waxed and are chemical-free, leave the skin on. With a fork, score the sides of each cucumber, creating a ruffled edge. Slice thinly.
Layer the sliced cucumbers and onion in a large bowl.
4 cups cucumber, 1 large onion
Combine the remaining ingredients and blend thoroughly. Pour the dressing over the cucumbers.
1 cup water, 1 cup vinegar, 1 tsp celery seed, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp Salt
Cover and chill at least 2 hours. Use a slotted spoon to serve.
