I don't know about the cucumbers, but rice and water, probably not. Some rice is enriched with vitamins, but, the Japanese, for instance, found out the hard way that soldiers needed more than rice and water to subsist on. Many died from nutrient deficiencies. The cucumbers would add some nutrients, but I don't think cucumbers have a full amino acid profile. Quinoa and cucumbers, maybe.

But. Humans need a lot of shit. Our diets are meant to be big in variety. Sticking to just 1-2 things is a good way to kill yourself or severely damage your body or brain.
