But I think it is a bit boring to ate just cucumber like that.
I do like cucumbers and therefore I made up a spicy cucumber salad. Because cucumbers contain a lot of liquid, I've split the cucumber and spooned the seeds out.
We loved the salad, but the next time I make it I'm going to be carefull with the coriander. It's got a very specific taste, which makes it a predominant flavor
Ingredients:
- 2 cucumbers
- small bunch of coriander;
- 1 peper, unseeded and chopped;
- 1/2 cup (75 gram) unsalted cashewnuts, chopped;
- 1 tablespoon chinese wine vinegar;
- 1 tablespoon olive oil;
- 2 teaspoons brown sugar;
- 1 red onion, chopped.
Preparation:
Split the cucumbers and spoon the seeds out. Cut in half moons which are about 0,2 inch (0.5 cm) thick.
Mix in another bowl the oil, sugar and chinese wine vinagar. Keep stiring until the sugar is dissolved.
Pour the oil/vinegar mixture on the cucumber. Add the peper and the onion. Mix the salad very well and put it in the refrigerator for at least an hour to optimize the flavours.
Just before serving dinner add the cashewnuts and the coriander leaves to the salad.Serve immediately to keep everytbing fresh.
