Cucumber Salad

Looking for a quick and easy side dish to make? Well, cucumber salad may be exactly what you're looking for. Cool, crisp and tangy is the best way to describe this side as well as refreshing! This goes great alongside any spicy dish or try it spicy (don't be scared of some heat it's healthy). This is mostly just referred to as cucumbers and sometimes cucumber chow but for me it's cucumber salad.

Ingeredients:
3 large cucumbers
1/4 onion, sliced
3 cloves garlic, sliced
I tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped
Fresh ground black pepper to taste 
1/4 teaspoon whole corriander seed 
1/4 teaspoon whole mustard seed
2 tablespoon rice vinegar
1/2 cup water
Directions:
Peel the cucumbers and slice in half length wise. Take out the seeds and slice (about 1/4 inch slices). Mix all ingredients and allow to marinate in the fridge for at least an hour. For a liitle heat add some sliced scotch bonnett pepper.

I hope you find this useful and as always feel free to leave comments and share about any other variations. Enjoy and be blessed!
