Herbed Cucumber "Quickles"

I tend to avoid purchasing cucumbers because I find that their flavor overwhelms most dishes to which they are added, though I can't be bothered to pick them out of things. Having ended up with one in my veggie box and needing a quick pickle to go with a vegetarian noodle stir fry, I came up with this recipe. The noodles were very good, but these "quickles" were spectacular and I hoovered them up in one seating. They were good enough that I was excited to get cucumbers in this week's box and the opportunity to make them again.

1 large thin-skinned cucumber, washed and cut into coins

1/2 cup mixed herbs ( I had just made summer rolls so I had a lot of Vietnamese and Thai herbs on hand, but regular basil and mint would make a great combination), roughly chopped - please do a better job or removing the stems than I did

1 Tbsp spring onion, roughly chopped

1/4 cup rice wine vinegar

1 Tbsp fish sauce

2 tsps granulated sugar

Place all of the ingredients in a container with a lid. Shake well to combine.

Set aside for 30 minutes, shaking every ten minutes to redistribute the ingredients and the dressing.

Serve as you would any quick pickle or, as I did, pretend that it is a salad and eat the whole damn thing in one go.
