Asian Spiced Cucumbers

August 29, 2012 7 comments Article Recipes, Side Dishes, Vegetables

HELLO WORLD! I am officially back in Boulder. I moved into an apartment all alone (my first time EVER living alone). It definitely has it’s ups and downs, but I am getting used to it. I started school this week at Escoffier too! The first week is all ServSafe, which is health and sanitation, so it is kind of boring; but next week we get started in the kitchens!

It has been great seeing all of my friends and family here in Colorado, but boy do I miss Hawaii. I am currently trying to get a flight booked to go out there for ten days over New Years! Along with seeing old friends, I have had the chance to eat dinner with my family and some of my best friends’ families. A few weeks ago I had dinner with my friend Kevin’s family. His mom made the best side dish, so naturally I had to try to recreate it at home!

Missing days like these at Sandy’s!

I don’t know about you but I always have a hard time with cucumbers. I feel like they only are good for salads or as pickles. This recipe turns them into a great light and healthy side dish perfect for any meal. Yes, technically these are quick pickled cucumbers, but they are nothing like regular pickles; you must try these! THANKS MRS. SLATTERY!

    Good seeing you Jenny! Glad you enjoyed dinner, you’re welcome any time. Your re-creation of the cucumber salad looks great, it’s always good to have something to do with all the cucumbers coming out of the garden this time of year.

    Congrats on starting school, Jenny! Your photo of the beach in Hawaii is so beautiful (I was thinking wall-size mural…?) 🙂 — glad to hear you may be going again over New Year’s. ENJOY!

    I just can’t seem to get my fill of those crisp, refreshing cucumbers this summer. A touch of spice is sure to only strengthen my cravings! Sounds like a great little addition to switch things up.

    I tend to not really love cucumbers but I think the asian flavor in these would really win me over!
