Time 1h15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup sugar, sub. splenda
1/2 cup rice wine vinegar, sub red wine vinegar
1/4 cup water
1 tablespoon sambal oelek or 1 tablespoon thai chili-garlic sauce
1 teaspoon salt
1 -2 English cucumber, unpeeled slice thin
1/4 cup red onion, sliced thin
3 tablespoons chopped cilantro
3 tablespoons chopped peanuts, garnish, I rarely use it (optional)

Steps:

  • In a saucepan: combine sugar, vinegar, water, chili pepper sauce and salt. Stir, cook over low-medium heat until sugar dissolved.
  • Pour warm mixture over prepared cucumbers, onions and cilantro.
  • Refrigerate until ready to eat. At least one hour cooling is best. Longer works too.
  • Just before serving, sprinkle with additional cilantro & peanuts if using.
  • I doubled the amount of cucumber but did not double the vinegar - sugar marinade.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover rice. I added a cup of cooked rice to the salad and it was delicious.

I'm not a big fan of spicy food, so I omitted the chili peppers from the dressing. The salad was still delicious.
