Well, I just had some painfully hot ramen that I'm pretty sure contained Satan's dandruff in it, so I'll go ahead and suggest cucumber salad with the hot cucumbers!
It's a copycat recipe of Noodles and Co. and I order that salad every time I go there. Every. Single. Time.

Adding a few pieces of julienned hot house cucumber would raise the spice deliciously. This would be a good side to some grilled fruit or eggplant and some simple pan fried fish.
