Someone named Gillian from a food group that I belong to made Indian Chicken. I asked her what spices that she used and wrote them down. I looked around to see what I had to use up and saw cucumbers so I wanted to make an interesting cucumber salad with Gilian’s spices for Indian Chicken. This is not an authentic Indian cucumber salad. It is Indian Inspired. My idea of serving size may differ from your idea of serving size.

Ingredients for around 8 servings

6 cucumbers – peeled – sliced long ways – (optional remove seeds and membrane) – sliced

1 small red onion – sliced extra thin

8 oz grape tomatoes – each tomato sliced in half

2 1/2 oz radish – sliced extra thin

1 carrot – sliced extra thin (peel if not organic)

1 cup white vinegar

1/2 cup water

2 teaspoons Indian curry

1 teaspoon garam masala

1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric

2 teaspoons sea salt

1 teaspoon ground black pepper

2 Tablespoons honey

1/2 cup fresh cilantro (just leaves and tender stems) – chopped

Directions

Cucumbers, red onion, tomatoes, radish, and carrot all go in a large mixing bowl. Set it to the side and whip up the dressing.

In a small bowl whisk together the vinegar, water, curry, garam masala, turmeric, salt, pepper and honey.

Mix the dressing into the cucumber and vegetable bowl. Toss in the cilantro. Let the flavors mingle for about an hour. Chill. Adjust seasoning if necessary. Then serve.

Enjoy!
