Marinated Cucumbers

Bookmark this one for the summertime when you have cucumbers growing like mad in your backyard and you’re not sure what to do with them! Also, if you need encouragement to get some more vegetables in your life, these are the answer. I could have easily eaten a pound or two of these tonight! They’re delicious on their own, but also really yummy on a bed of warm sticky rice

These marinated cucumbers are tangy and acidic, bright, crunchy and vibrant. Eat them right away, or let them marinate for a day first. Yum! Enjoy!
