  Re: (...)
I am looking for a recipe for these pickled Asian cucumbers. I believe it was in an issue with Asian Lime Ribs. I think?? But the cucumbers were in a vinegar/sugar? and dried red pepper or cayenne. Having difficulty finding this

Yes! I believe so. I didn't remember the mint, but yes.

Thanks Jean!

Is this the one? I know I've made this one a dozen or more times and my daughters both love it!

Cucumber Salad
from "Cuisine at Home"
makes 2 1/2 cups
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup rice vinegar
1 tsp. kosher salt
1/2 tsp. red pepper flakes
2 small cucumbers
1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion (optional)

Combine sugar, vinegar, salt, and pepper flakes for dressing in a bowl; set aside.

To prepare the cucumbers, cut a cucumber in half lengthwise, then scoop out the seeds with a spoon. Discard seeds. Slice cucumber halves into thin slices to make a yield of 2 to 2 1/2 cups.

Toss cucumber and onion slices with dressing until well coated. Chill salad until ready to serve. Salad can be prepared up to 1 hour ahead.

That's the one I use, Sharon. Funny, guess I didn't know it was a C@H recipe. When I copied it to Living Cookbook, I titled it Sharon's Cucumber Salad.

Yes Sharon! That is the one I remember making. Acutally both sound good. I may have to make both!

One at a time though. Love cucumber salads!

I love this salad. Might have to make it tonight. It would be refreshing with the spicy BBQ

Um, Jean, I'm back at school, moving to a different room, packing my room to go home since most of what is in my old room is reading or writing and I won't need. Did I announce that? I've moved to science! I'm SO excited! I get to go out doing FUN stuff! Sorry if I did. I'm still just so excited!!!!

Anyway, after all that, two days of sitting in hard chairs, too much information, and just tomorrow to get ready for open house tomorrow night? So Jean, my brain is fried right now! Sorry!!!! LOL!

On the upside, I'm LOVING the "Elf" posts meant to annoy others! Last update from Lorraine was 18 Fridays to Christmas! That is my new countdown!!!!!!
