Lent Chows : Cucumber salad with a twist

This cucumber salad is very similar to ensaladang pipino, but prepared in a different way. This was first introduced to me in Holland, via Tita Dijne (mark's mom). It's very simple but I find it appetizing. First off, the cut is different, and you put some spicy flavor in it.



Ingredients:
- 1 medium sized cucumber, peeled, de-seeded, and cut into cubes
- 1 tsp sambal oelek
- 2-3 Tbsp. of calamansi juice
- 1 tsp. sugar
- salt and pepper to taste

1. Combine cucumber, calamansi juice, sugar, salt and pepper. Mix well. Remember, you can always adjust the sweetness/sourness/saltiness according to your preference.
2. Add the sambal oelek. This will add that spicy taste.
