Ingredients

• 1 3/4 cups white vinegar
• 1 tablespoon kosher salt
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 clove garlic, crushed, plus 2 tablespoons, thinly sliced
• 2 serrano pepper, seeded, and sliced into half moons
• 2 English cucumbers, ends trimmed and thinly sliced on a mandoline
• 1 red onion, peeled and thinly sliced on a mandoline

Preparation

Step 1

In medium saucepan over high heat, combine the vinegar, salt, sugar, the crushed garlic clove and 1 serrano pepper. Bring to a boil, then turn the heat off and allow to cool.

Put the cucumbers and red onions in a large, nonmetallic serving bowl with remaining serrano pepper and the thinly sliced garlic and toss to combine.

When the vinegar mixture has cooled, strain it into a small bowl and pour it over the vegetables. Stir to coat the vegetables with the vinegar mixture. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
