Preparation
STEP 1
Slice cucumber and place in a colander. Toss and coat cucumber slices with salt and let them drain in colander in the sink or over a bowl for 10-15 minutes to release excess water.
STEP 2
To make dressing add vinegar, fish sauce, sugar, garlic and sliced chile to a bowl. Mix until sugar is dissolved. Set aside.
STEP 3
Give cucumber slices a gentle squeeze to release as much water as possible and transfer to a bowl. Add sliced tomatoes and onions. Add dressing and toss to coat. Taste to check for seasoning and serve.
