1 long english cucumber |
1 bunch of fresh dill, cleaned and chopped |

1. Grate the onion and mix into the mayonnaise with salt and pepper to taste.
2. Let refrigerate several hours or overnight.
3. Do not assemble sandwiches ahead of time or they may get to soggy.
4. Spread the onion mayonnaise mixture over the bread slices .
5. Peel the cucumber here and there leaving some green skin show.
6. Score with tinges of a fork and slice thinly.
7. Place 4 slices of cucumber on the bread.
