Spicy Summer Salad
I had a light dinner tonight of pasta carbonara and this salad that I improvised, colorful and light and tasting like the warmer weather that has yet to arrive:
Sitting in my fridge are a couple of cukes that will start getting funky in a few days, and some freshly acquired red onions from Sow Yer Oats. Last time I did a cuke salad it had a creamy dressing, so I wanted this one more pungent and tangy. Here are the components.... mix & match as you please.
1 cuke, sliced thin
1/4 red onion, sliced thinly and marinating in
juice of 1/2 lime
1 scallion, diced
mix together and toss with:
1 t holy basil paste (like flaming ambrosia, this stuff)
1 t soy sauce
1 t sour cream
1/2 t powdered ginger
1 t chopped cilantro
I think that's it. I'm probably forgetting something, but the point is you just want some tang and some spice in the dressing.
