Every once in a while I have a salad without greens. I normally don't like to do this too often because I feel that I probably didn't get my normal intake of greens today. I went to this thai restaurant and had what they call a cucuber salad. I'm sure the dressing was not good for me but it was spicy and sweet and seemed to go very well with the cucumber.
This recipe might sound different to some but I really enjoyed it.
1 large cucumber, peeled, seeded and diced
1/4 cup red onion
1/3 cup celery
1/4 cup dried cranberries
Dressing:
1/8 cup water
1/2 lemon, juiced
1 large tbls honey
sprinkle of cayenne, alter depending on taste
It was pretty spicy but the cranberries really tied everything together.
Might not be up everyone's alley but it was pretty simple and yummy.:D
