Cucumber Salad

I planted 3 cucumber plants this spring and from them i have picked over 3 dozen cucumbers... I walk over to the garden every morning to find a full size cucumber... They grow so fast! Good thing i love them with just about anything! This morning i picked a jalapeno and some basil and decided to make a salad out of it! So refreshing on a hot summer day!


Ingredients:
1 large cucumber peeled and thinly sliced
1 jalapeno diced
1/3 cup of rice vinegar
1/2 cup ice cold water
handful of chopped basil
2 tablespoons of sugar
salt and pepper to taste

Mix vinegar, water and sugar until dissolved. Add the other ingredients and let it sit in the refrigerator for 1 hour before serving.
