Do you know how to make a strong onion taste sweet? Slice it and soak in a little milk and sugar.

2	medium	Cucumbers, thinly sliced
1	medium	Onion, cut into rings (I really like Vidalia best)
2	cups	Thinly sliced carrots
1/2	cup	Sliced celery
1	cup	Vinegar
1/4	cup	Vegetable oil
3/4	cup	Sugar
1	tsp	Celery seeds
