If you don’t have any exotic vegetable or ingredient at home, and yet want to quickly rustle up a different, nice salad, this is it. Chunky tomato wedges, sliced onions and cucumber slices do very well in a tangy, spicy dressing of vinegar, sugar, mustard and chilli flakes. The dressing here is boiled together here before tossing it in with the vegetables. This fiery-to-taste salad tastes even better when it is served chilled. Delicious!
