SWEET AND SOUR CUCUMBER SLICES



Sweet and Sour Cucumber Slices image

I love these cucumbers. This recipe comes from 'A Spoonful of Ginger' by Nina Simonds who says that cucumbers eaten during the summer dissipate heat. They also are considered to have diuretic and laxative effects. I can't really attest to all that but I can tell you that these slices are really tasty.

1 1/2 lbs pickling cucumbers or 2 seedless English cucumbers, rinsed
1 cup clear rice vinegar
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger

Steps:

  • Trim the ends of the cucumbers and slice them lengthwise in half, then run the tines of a fork several times down the length to creat a slight decoration on the skin.
  • Scoop out the seeds with a spoon and cut the cucumber halves into 3-inch sections; cut the sections, along the length, into almost paper thin slices and place in a bowl.
  • Mix the remaining ingredients; add to the cucumbers and toss lightly to coat the slices.

SWEET AND SOUR CUCUMBERS



Sweet and Sour Cucumbers image

Warning: these can be addictive! Serve these with anything but I think they're especially good with grilled salmon or cold poached salmon for a light summer dinner. Original recipe comes from a June 1981 issue of Bon Appetit in the RSVP section. The recipe was requested from The Voyagers Restaurant in Albany, California. Make this the day before or early in the morning of the day you want to serve them. Note: if using English cucumbers, omit seeding the cucumbers.I've also added thin slices, cut into eighths, of a sweet onion such as the Texas 1015 or Vidalia to the cucumber/vinegar mixture occasionally.
