Simple Cucumber Salad
"Just adding to the lists of Asian food for the ZWT! What makes this special is the black vinegar. If you can't get any, use regular rice vinegar, but if you can find black... GET IT. It's like the difference between Italian and Spanish olive oils. Subtle and amazing. From Hot, Sour, Salty, Sweet"

Scrumptious and easy to make - this is definitely a summer 2010 fridge staple; I had some left over raw veggies left (onion, pepper, etc.) that I chucked in as well and it was /so/ tasty. I completely ignored my entree! -
Super recipe! I couldn't get the black vinegar so I subbed balsamic instead. We really liked the flavor and it went well with the rest of our chinese meal. I will be on the lookout for the black vinegar so I can try it again. Thanks for sharing. Made for ZWT 6.

<p>I love studying history! Most of the cookbooks I am collecting are half history book, half cookbook. <br /> <br />One of the best cookbooks I have ever read is Jewish Holiday Baking by Marcy Goldman. I like anything by Mollie Katzen, too. <br /> <br />I am trying to get better at making soups. I am also making forays into Russian cooking. <br /> <br />I am on a low carbohydrate diet for various and sundry health reasons. It's a lot of fun tweaking recipes to be low carb enough for me to enjoy. I've become a much better cook because of it. <br /> <br />I love sewing, embroidery, cooking, baking, and dancing. I just got a full time job again so I am relearning how to fit my cooking in around a strict schedule. The crock pot is once again my best friend.</p>
