Pickled Cucumber Salad
Image and Recipe Copyright © 2003-2010 Jennifer Iserloh
This cucumber salad gets it’s name from the apple cider vinegar. It lends a sweet and sour tang to this dish that reminds me of fresh pickles. Cucumber salad also makes a great topping for your turkey burger or salmon cakes in place of pickle relish.
Serves 4
Ingredients
1 large English cucumber or 4 small Persian cucumbers, peeled, thinly sliced
1/2 teaspoon of fine sea salt
1 small shallot, minced
1 tablespoon apple cider or rice wine vinegar
2 tablespoons olive or canola oil
2 tablespoons thinly sliced fresh mint or basil
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Directions
Spread cucumbers out in a colander, sprinkle with salt and rest for 20-25 minutes. Squeeze cucumbers gently to remove any excess water and place on paper towel.
In a large bowl, toss cucumbers with shallot, vinegar, olive oil and mint or basil. Serve immediately.
Make It A Meal
Serve with Herbed Fish or Gazpacho.
