Honey Cucumber Salad image

The cooked dressing adds a nice twist to this salad as does the red pepper flakes. I thought it was similar to a refrigerator pickle.

Time 20m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 large cucumbers, peeled & thinly sliced
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 white wine vinegar
1/2 cup water
3 tablespoons honey
1/8-1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons finely diced red onions

Steps:

  • Place thinly slice cucumbers in a bowl and sprinkle with salt. Toss well. Allow to sit in the refrigerator while you prepare dressing. (The original recipe says to drain any liquid that comes out of the cucumbers while they set, but we don't do that.).
  • To prepare dressing: combine the vinegar, water, honey & red pepper flakes in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium. Cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes, until liquid is reduced to about 1/3 cup. Remove mixture from heat & stir in diced red onion. Let cool to room temperature.
  • Combine sauce and cucumbers, stirring well to coat. Refrigerate until well chilled or at least an hour.
