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.

Time 10m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

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.
  • Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes; serve cold.

I've tried many sweet and sour cucumber recipes, but this one is by far the best. The cucumbers are perfectly crispy and the sauce is sooo good. I love the addition of pineapple and green bell pepper.
