Sometimes you may hear this side dish being called cucumber relish, but call it whatever you'd like.  There are two parts for this recipe, the salad, and its dressing.  It is very simple to create this side dish.  By the way, you definitely would want to accompany your satay dish with this lovely & refreshing cucumber salad.
 
Thai Sweet and Sour Dressing

 3 cups of granulated sugar
1 & 1/4 cups of white vinegar 
2 tsp of salt

How to:
1.   In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, vinegar, and salt.  Bring it to a boil, let it simmered over medium heat for approximately 15 minutes.  The sauce should have the same consistency as corn syrup.

    I’m an atypical almost middle-aged girl who currently lives in a beautiful tiny town called “Spring Lake”, Michigan.  I’m not a full-time mom or a full-time wife (because I work full-time), but I’m a mom, a wife, an animal lover, a cook, a food addict, a former city girl, an aspired Bond girl, and etc…….  I was born in a magical faraway land so far away from Spring Lake.  The exact distant from my home town and Spring Lake is 8741 miles.  The best way to get there is to fly…..oh my….oh my, not too much fun being on a plane that long.  Anyway, let’s see what I have in store for you.

    I love to eat, therefore, I love to cook.  My style of cooking is simple and very simple.  Nothing's fancy...may be once in a while, but it'll still be easy.  I try not to create any more complications in my life.

    Simplicity is the master key in my kitchen.
