directions

  • Using a vegetable peeler, peel carrot, then thinly slice lengthways into ribbons. Cut ribbons into thin strips and place in a bowl with half the salt and mix well.
  • Place onion slices in a separate bowl with the remaining salt and mix well.
  • Set carrot and onion aside for 1 hour.
  • Combine the vinegar and sugar in a small saucepan and stir over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Simmer, uncovered without stirring for about 10 minutes or until reduced and slightly syrupy. Set aside to cool.
  • Drain the carrot and onion and, using your impeccably clean hands, gently squeeze out any excess liquid. Place the carrot and onion in the cooled syrup to pickle them lightly.
  • Using a vegetable peeler, finely slice cucumber lengthways into ribbons and then cut them into thin strips.
  • In a large bowl, combine cucumber, pickled carrot, pickled onion, and all the remaining salad ingredients, using your impeccably clean hands to mix thoroughly.
  • To make the dressing, combine all the ingredients in a small bowl. Spoon over salad and serve on a platter.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

<p>I host a monthly gathering in my home for friends and family. My goal each month is to do something I've never done before, whether it's making tamales or homemade pasta. Each month there is a definite theme. It could be a region of the world such as Basque country or it could be a topic such as steam punk. Typically I have between 12-16 guinea pigs...oops, I mean people for supper and many times I have a waiting list as any more than 16 people just won't work in my tiny home.</p> <p>When I'm not thinking about or planning the menu for the next gathering, I'm trying out the latest restaurant offerings nearby. I guess you could say I've got food on my mind most all the time.</p>
