- Next, heavily salt the cucumbers in a large bowl then cover and place in the refrigerator for an hour. Also slice the red onion and place in a bowl of warm water. After the hour is up drain the excess water and rinse the cucumbers to remove all that excess salt. Lightly, pat dry the cucumbers. Drain and lightly pat dry the onions as well.
