Mint, Lime & Cucumber Salad

English_Rose's Note:

This Thai-inspired side is superhealthy and low fat as well. Goes well with grilled chicken and ribs as a BBQ side dish.

Directions:

1. Finely slice half of the cucumber into a large bowl. Cut the skin off the lime, then cut out the segments. Add these to the bowl and squeeze any juice out of the bit left in the middle. Add the vinegar and sugar, cover and leave in the fridge.

This is bright and refreshing with just a tiny kick. I just made it up all at one time.
