Instructions
In a small bowl or liquid measuring cup, whisk together the vinegar, oil, sugar, salt and pepper.
Place cucumbers and chives in a medium-sized bowl and toss with the vinaigrette.
Chill for 5-10 minutes before serving so the flavors have a chance to mingle.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Notes
*I love how fast and mild the chives are here, but you could substitute some thinly sliced red onions or shallots if you have those on hand.
