Wash and peel the cucumbers, and halve them lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds with a spoon and slice the cucumbers thinly. Marinate with salt, sugar, and 2-3 finely chopped mint leaves. Let stand for about 30 minutes to allow the slices to draw in the water. In the meantime, peel the onion, cut it into small cubes, and sauté it in a pan with a little oil until translucent. Let the onion cool slightly. Drain the water from the cucumber slices. Then toss the cucumbers with yogurt, lemon juice, and grated lemon zest. Season with salt and pepper, and add the onions. Finally, shake the washed mint dry. Pick off the leaves, cut them into fine strips, and fold them into the salad.
