- ½ cup rice or white vinegar
- 2 medium cucumbers, seeded and sliced

- 2 Thai chilies, seeded and minced
Instructions:
This is a terrific summer salad to bring on a picnic. It's great served alongside grilled chicken, chops, even burgers!
- In a small bowl, combine the sugar, salt, and boiling water. Stir to thoroughly dissolve sugar and salt. Add the vinegar and allow the vinaigrette to cool to room temperature.
- Place the cucumbers, onion slices, and the chili peppers in a mediumsized bowl. Pour the dressing over the vegetables. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator at least until cold, preferably overnight.
