Spicy Asian Cucumber Salad
From Cook's Country
Cucumbers’ high water content often dilutes the dressings in cucumber salad recipes. To avoid that, we created a double-strength base for the dressing in our Spicy Asian Cucumber Salad recipe by simmering rice vinegar and sugar until reduced, then adding seasonings. Once the dressing was tossed with the cucumbers, the water from the cucumbers diluted the base to create a final dressing with just the right potency.
