this sounds so good
Thai Cucumber Salad
Serve this cucumber relish alongside Satay or with any Thai meal that needs a cooling side-dish. There is an alternative cucumber salad recipe here.
Ingredients
1 red spur chili, finely chopped (or 1/2 of a sweet red bell pepper)
4 cucumbers
2 shallots, finely chopped
1 tbsp chopped coriander
1/4 tsp sea salt
2 tbsp sugar
1 1/3 cup vinegar
Preparation
Wash the cucumbers, cut into quarters lengthwise, then cut across into thin slices. Mix vinegar, sugar and salt together, simmer over medium heat until dissolved and the sauce slightly thickens. Remove from the heat and allow to cool. Just before serving, pour the cold sauce over the vegetables, and sprinkle with chopped coriander on top.

I make this all the time. Slice your cucumbers and onions thin. Mix 1 cup apple cider vinegar, 1 Cup sugar, 1 tea. salt. If you make a big batch you may need to double this. Stir this up till dissolved pour over your cucumbers. As you eat you can just add more cucumbers and onions. When they loose their tang drain them and add new vinegar mix. They keep well in the re-frig.

i guess it depends on what vinegar cucumbers you're wanting?
I just peel my cuc, then add it to a vinegar/water mixture and add some salt and pepper to taste. You can refrigerate then for a bit, so the cuc's absorb the taste!!
and YUM!!!
Hope someone gave you what you were looking for
