Are cucumbers in season at your house? Especially those little Kirby cucumbers that are good for making pickles. Well, they are good for making this too.
It's a little salad for those people that are "lettuce challenged". That would not be me, but certain members of my family are. It's really easy to make and keeps for a few days if you make a big batch. I love them as a snack.
This is just a guideline sort of recipe. You will have to taste it and tweak as you see fit. Thinly slice some Kirby or English cucumbers. Sprinkle them liberally with salt and let them stand in a colander for a few hours. I give them a quick stir as I pass through the kitchen. This pulls some of the water out of the cucumbers. After the cucumbers look wilted, rinse the salt off and pat them dry. Put them in a serving bowl and mix in a clove of minced garlic. You may need more if you have a lot of cucumbers. Use discretion here. In another bowl, mix a little sesame oil, white vinegar (I like 3 spoons of vinegar to 1 spoon of sesame oil), and a spoonful of sugar. Taste and adjust to your liking. If you want some bite, add a few red pepper flakes. Pour over cucumbers and chill. For a little more crunch, add a few sesame seeds.
I could almost give up potato chips if I had these around all the time.
