Asian Inspired Cucumber Salad
Summertime is when the salads come out. Whether potato salad, macaroni/pasta salad, or vegetable salad, it is one of the most popular dishes offered when temperatures rise and BBQs are in full swing. (Who waits for summer? I don't! LOL!) One of the most popular salads out there is the cucumber salad. This has so many variations out there but it is definitely one of those that "I grew up on that" foods. Every family has their traditional way of making their cucumber salad. Some use sour cream with dill. Others will use yogurt. Then, there is the traditional oil and vinegar with just a few spices. Well, it was my turn to make a batch of cucumber salad but I wanted something different. Using some of your more common ingredients from Asian cuisine, I created a vinaigrette that showcased flavors that would bring a nice cucumber salad to life! This was quickly made and came together so fast. The fragrant flavors of ginger, garlic, carrots, and dried mint came out gently but beautifully balanced.
