Cambodian Cucumber Salad is a popular salad in Cambodia and Southeast Asia. It is often served as a side dish to spicy and flavorful main dishes, as it helps to offset the heat and balance out the flavors. The salad is easy to make and can be prepared in advance, making it a great addition to any potluck or picnic. The combination of crunchy and refreshing cucumbers with a savory and slightly spicy dressing makes it a perfect dish for warmer weather or as a light meal option for those watching their waistlines.

Instructions

1.	Cut the cucumbers in half, lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds and slice into thin pieces.
2.	Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of sugar over the sliced cucumbers. Toss and let sit for 10 minutes.
3.	In a separate bowl, mix rice wine vinegar, minced garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, and chili sauce.
4.	Squeeze the excess water from the cucumbers and add to the bowl with the dressing. Toss to evenly coat the cucumbers with the dressing.
5.	Serve immediately or chill in the fridge for up to an hour before serving.
