1/4 red onion very thinly sliced*
1 teaspoon salt
Pinch of sugar

* Onion is optional, but in my family we always included it.
Peel the cucumbers and slice them very thin.
Sprinkle with salt and let stand for 30-60 minutes with a plate and a 5-pound weight on top. Squeeze out the water on a paper towel.
Add onions.
Combine the sugar, vinegar, garlic powder, and water. Add the cucumbers and marinate for a few hours. To serve, sprinkle paprika on half of the salad and black pepper on the other half.
