This is a great subtle twist on the American favorite cucumbers in vinegar. In some parts of the world this is also called a cucumber relish. A relish is a cooked or pickled vegetable used as a condiment or to enhance the staple dish - Wikipedia. This tangy cucumber relish is a perfect side to our Grilled Chicken Satay and Satay Peanut Sauce. A little bite from the vinegar and a little kick from the chile pepper really enhances the rich flavors of the Satay. These spicy pickled cucumbers would also be great on a hamburger or grilled chicken breast sandwich. Let them sit even longer to really develop the flavor. This side dish was low in cholesterol and saturated fat but high in sodium.
