Less sharp than regular pickles, these cucumbers are a punchy addition to any sandwich, salad, or grain bowl. Use with Chicken and Cucumber Rice Bowls and/or Greens-and-Beans Sandwiches.

Preparation
Step 1
Toss cucumbers and a large pinch of salt in a medium bowl. Let sit at room temperature, tossing every 5 minutes or so, until cucumbers release some liquid and begin to soften, about 15 minutes.
Step 2
Meanwhile, whisk chile, garlic, vinegar, honey, and a large pinch of salt in an airtight container large enough to contain the cucumbers.
Step 3
Squeeze as much liquid from cucumbers as possible and add to vinegar mixture. Toss to coat. Let sit at least 30 minutes before serving.
Do Ahead: Cucumbers can be marinated 1 week ahead. Cover and chill.

Back to TopI've made these two weeks in a row - for grain bowls last week, and for everything else this week! So good. I wouldn't add more garlic, I think the flavor is balanced as is.

Tasty but not very garlicky at all -- I would use 1 or 2 more cloves in the future.
