I recently whipped this up and shared it as a side at Shrek’s parents’ home on a warm summer day and, mmm, was it a hit! Cool, crisp, and although sweet, it has a little bite to it due to the jalapenos I add.
Ingredients:*
2 cucumbers, washed and sliced
1/2 red onion, sliced
2 Jalapenos, sliced
1/4 cup Apple Cider Vinegar
1/4 cup Vegetable Oil
1/2 cup White Wine Vinegar
1 cup White Sugar
1 1/2 cup water Water
2 TBS Jalapeno juice (from jar)
*Please note that all ingredient measurements are approximate as I don’t actually measure any thing out. I’m more of a pour straight from the bottle and mix after everything is added kind of girl. Therefore, I recommend altering the ingredients and corresponding measurements to suit taste and serving size. The way I introduce it above serves about 4.
For all the slicing I use my Cuisinart Food Processor. It makes the salad a breeze to make! The sliced cucumbers, red onion, and jalapenos go into a bowl or tupperware. Drizzle vegetable oil, cider, vinegar and jalapeno juice. Add sugar liberally and then water. Stir and I recommend letting it sit in the fridge for a good 4 hours before serving.
Voila!
Sounds great especially since Allison has a zillion cucumbers and is off fighting forest fires…we keep finding cucumbers on our doorstep::)) I'd cut the sugar a bit, but I think I'll try this one. Might add carrots for more crunch.
It is a bit shocking how much sugar goes into this, but look at your raspberry jam……..!
