“Cool as a Cucumber”- Cucumber Salad
I was asked by quite a few people to post the cucumber salad recipe. This is one of the most popular recipes that I make. This salad is cool, refreshing and is great on a sandwich or even right out of the container (which is my favorite thing to do). When there’s cucumber salad in the fridge, you better watch out because it will be gone before you know it!
What you need:
2 cucumbers
1 Cup Sugar
1 Cup White Vinegar
3/4 Cup Water
1 Cup Green Shredded Cabbage (You can omit this and add shreded carrots if you want)
3 Tbsp Roasted Sesame Seeds (I use store bought seeds, but you can roast your own if you like)
1. In a microwave safe dish (I use a measuring cup), pour in 1 cup of sugar, 1 cup of vinegar and 3/4 cup of water. Microwave for about 3 minutes, or until the sugar dissolves.
2. Use a mandolin (be VERY careful it is extremely sharp), or a knife to cut the cucumbers very thin.
3. Add cucumbers, cabbage (or carrots), and sesame seeds to vinegar mixture. Store in a tupperware and place in fridge to cool. The salad should last in the fridge for about a week.
I can’t wait to go home and eat the batch I made today! Enjoy!
