I knew I should've planted a garden this year! I miss my dad's cucumbers, when they grew they really grew ...by the dozens. We ate cucumber salad for weeks afterward.Originally Posted by AbbysMom

Here goes:
CUCUMBER SALAD
-White vinegar 1/2 cup
-Water 1/2 cup
-Sugar 1/2 cup
-Kosher salt 1/2 teaspoon
-Garlic, chopped fine 1/2 teaspoon
-Shallots, sliced fine 2
-Red pepper flakes 1/8 teaspoon
-Cilantro, chopped fine 2 tablespoons
-Cucumbers, peeled, seeded and
sliced fine 3
prepare cucumber salad by combining the vinegar, water, sugar, salt, garlic, shallots, red pepper flakes and cilantro and pour over the cucumbers. Then allow salad to chill.
I've used red onion sometimes instead of shallots. I also use more cilantro and garlic than it calls for. Do not have a heavy hand with the red pepper. A little goes a LONG way! I like this recipe becasue it is so easy on a hot summer day!

No comment!!!
Is it a cucumber though?
I love cilantro! There are a few salsas up here that don't have it. There is also a salsa mix that you add to tomatoes and onion that would work for you. I will check to find out the brand name of it.Originally Posted by RoseHawke
Okay, slightly off-topic here, but what is it with Cilantro? A few years ago you never saw it, and now it's everywhere! Neither I nor my husband like the taste and it's getting to be almost impossible to find a salsa that doesn't have it.
