Preparation Steps
- Begin by slicing the English cucumbers in half lengthwise, then scoop out the seeds. Cut into ¼-inch thick slices.
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine rice vinegar, red wine vinegar, sugar, and salt. Stir until dissolved—about 3 to 4 minutes.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and let the dressing cool for about 10 minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the cucumber slices, matchstick carrots, thinly sliced red onion, and chopped cilantro. Toss gently.
- Pour the cooled dressing over the salad, drizzle in the sweet chili sauce and lime juice. Toss to coat.
- Cover and let the salad marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
- Give the salad a final toss before serving. Optionally, sprinkle with peanuts or sesame seeds.
