Spicy Bacon and Cucumber Salad

I found this recipe online, which suited my need to clear some space in the fridge very well. It's the perfect summer dinner, when a cold salad just won't do...

I had half a cucumber left over, so I added two baby bok choi (roughly chopped stems in with the cucumber and the leaves only in the last minute). I liked the Szechuan pepper, although I might grind it up next time. I just added the chili I have growing on the balcony, to taste. With these kinds of recipes it is pretty easy to play around with substitutions (different chilies for heat, vinegars for acidity, etc.), so just use what you have on hand.

All in all a very tasty and easy dish to prepare, which I will surely do again.
