Since I have been home more in the evenings (big blessings) I have been cooking dinner more (small blessings). I've been peering into my pantry on a much more frequent basis and there is some weird stuff in there for sure! I noticed an almost full bottle of rice vinegar the other day; probably purchased for some obscure failed recipe that called for an eighth of a teaspoon - I immediately felt bad for my husband since he most likely had to eat the outcome of said failed experiment.
I digress.
I set out on a mission to find a recipe that called for rice vinegar. A safe recipe that is...no need to go climbing Mt. Everest after falling down the back steps. I found this one and I must say it has become a staple at meal times at the Glannons. Thought I'd share it with ya:
Cucumber Salad (serves 4)
3 cups sliced & quartered cucumbers (about 2 med)
3 Tablespoons Rice vinegar
1 teaspoon sugar
2 teaspoon sesame oil (dark if you can find it)
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 Tablespoon chopped green onion
2 Tablespoon chopped peanuts
Combine first 5 ingredients in a bowl; toss to coat cucumber. Sprinkle with onions & peanuts before serving.
