There was a great deal on cucumbers this week at the store and i got 8 for $.99!! I was searching for a yummy vinegar-y salad I could make and came across this beauty!! It is so delicious, and I can't wait for Alax to come home and try it. He loves cucumbers. Here is the recipe. I suggest you make this right away!
Cucumber Salad with
Balsamic Dressing
2 or 3 medium cucumbers
4 T mayo
1 T best quality balsamic vinegar
1 T sugar (or more depending on the quality of your vinegar)
1 tsp. fresh lemon juice
1 tsp. garlic puree (I didn't have any so I left it out, but this could only make this 10x better..)
sea salt to taste
fresh ground black pepper to taste
Peel cucumbers, leaving strips of peel if garden cucumbers and peeling completely if not. Cut cucumbers in half or fourths lengthwise, and then into slices and place in serving bowl. In small bowl, use whisk to combine mayo, balsamic vinegar, Splenda or sugar, lemon juice, and garlic. Combine cucumbers with dressing, season with sea salt and pepper, and serve. The salad can also be chilled for an hour or two before serving.
