Actually everyone has their own recipe as far as cucumber salad as far as I am as concerned so this is mine. There are two ways to go about doing this are the creamy and the vinegery type. One day I do the creamy one and I will post it on this very page. For now I will write the recipe for both types.
For now wash and chop 2 cucumbers, 1 onion or shallot in to tiny pieces. Also if you want to slice the cucumbers vertically this is ok too. The onion or shallot must be chopped. Place these in a bowl and add 1 pinch each of either seasoned salt, vegtea seasoning or pink salt, coconut sugar or turbinado sugar, black peppercorns that has been ground in mortar and pestle and an herb of choice. It really doesn’t matter which type of herb you use, 1 tsp of either balsamic vinegar, lemon or lime juice with equal amount of either olive, hemp seed, flaxseed, walnut or macadamia nut oil.
For the creamy cucumber salad it is all of the above except the vinegar and oil that is for another type all together. Add 1/4 cup of plain yogurt and 1 oz of water on top of the cucumber mix iteself and mix until well blended.
For the vinegery one add 1 oz of olive oil and 3 tbs of balsamic vinegar and give it a good mix. Put these in the refridgerator to chill. These are great for barbecues and potlucks. Enjoy.
