Description

This is a delightful little side dish, and great for the summer since it involves no stove and no oven. Pair it with the Caramelized Ginger Salmon in my recipe box–they’re perfect together.

Ingredients

  • 2 whole Cucumbers
  • 3 Tablespoons White Wine Vinegar
  • 2 Tablespoons Sugar
  • 2 cloves Garlic, Crushed
  • 1 Tablespoon Water
  • 2 teaspoons Soy Sauce
  • 1 pinch Red Pepper Flakes

Preparation

Peel your cucumbers and cut them in half lengthwise. Then, grab a spoon and scrape the seeds out of the middle. Chop them into little half-moons. Heat vinegar and sugar in the microwave for 30 seconds. Stir to make sure sugar is dissolved. Mix all ingredients in a bowl, and refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving. If you want a little more zing, just add some more vinegar and sugar.

Made these for my hubs and he says they’re totally addictive…he says he could easily sit down and eat the entire bowlful without thinking about it. He said potato chips aren’t nearly as addictive as these things. Thanks for sharing! I have one very happy snacker on my hands! :)

Yummy and fresh summer side dish or salad. I used a combo of 2 Tbs apple cider vinegar and 2 Tbs rice vinegar, added extra soy sauce and a good splash of Mongolian Fire Oil to give it a little more kick.

Thanks for a recipe that doesn’t require heating up the kitchen in these 100 degree days.
