1/4 teaspoon grated lime rind
1 1/2 teaspoon fresh lime juice

1 1/2 cups thinly sliced English cucumber

Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
Combine first 3 ingredients in a small bowl. Cover and chill.
Dissolve 1/4 teaspoon sugar in 3 tablespoons vinegar in a medium bowl, stirring with a whisk. Add cucumber and red onion; toss to coat. Cover and chill.
