1 . Stage

Place onions in a small bowl of ice water; let soak 15 minutes.

2 . Stage

Meanwhile, place cucumbers in a salad spinner or colander set over a bowl, then toss with 2 teaspoons salt. Let sit, tossing occasionally, until cucumbers release their water, about 15 minutes.

In a small bowl, mix oil, vinegar, lemon juice, mustard, honey, black pepper, red pepper (if using), and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
