Simple cucumber salad

There are probably millions of different combinations of pickle type recipes. It's all up to personal taste and what you have on hand.
This one is so simple and refreshing. It's tangy and spicy with a hint of sweet.  I like to add jalapeño peppers. You could use onion and garlic for a more savory flavor.

Ingredients:
1 cucumber, peeled and sliced
1 small jalapeño, chopped
(Remove pith and seeds for less heat, optional)
4 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
3 tablespoons water
1 teaspoon sugar

Mix everything together in a small container with lid. Shake. Refrigerate at least an hour. Keeps for weeks.

Serve as a side dish or in a sandwich or as topping for a salad.
