For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of dried dill or a splash of lemon juice to the dressing. If you prefer a less sweet salad, reduce the amount of sugar to 1/4 cup or even omit it entirely. To prevent the salad from becoming too watery, you can lightly salt the cucumbers and onions before adding the dressing. Let them sit for 15 minutes, then drain off any excess liquid.
