Cucumber Salad

This recipe is adapted from the latest issue of one of my favorite food magazines: Saveur

Ingredients

• ¼ cup sugar
• ¼ cup white vinegar
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro – chopped
• 2 shallots – sliced thin
• 1 cucumber – quartered lengthwise and sliced

Directions

In a medium bowl, combine sugar, vinegar, and salt and give a quick stir to dissolve. Add in remaining ingredients and toss to cover in the liquid. Let chill at least one hour before serving – allowing the flavors to meld.
