Did I ever tell you that my husband Chris has a crazy green thumb? The man can grow anything. We have a veggie garden around the side of our house that is sprouting off tomatoes, peppers and the biggest dang cucumbers you have ever seen. Look at the size of that thing it is bigger than a babies arm. Last night Chris made us a cucumber salad with the wares from his garden that I thought I would share.
CUCUMBER SALAD
1 1/2 cucumbers, peeled, chopped
1 teaspoon salt
1 jalapeño chili, seeded, minced
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons sesame oil
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 teaspoons sugar
Place cucumbers in medium bowl. Sprinkle with salt. Toss. Chill 1 hour.
Drain cucumbers and return to bowl. Combine remaining ingredients in another bowl. Pour over cucumbers and toss to coat. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Refrigerate.)
We had the salad, stirfry and eggrolls as we watched Big Love. Dang next week’s episode looks juicy.

I'm eating the cucumber salad now! Woo, it's good!
OH yum....this looks delicious! Cukes are one of my top favorites!! I received one of your necklaces in my recent Sampler box and I love it:):)
We aren't growing much at all! I blame it on experimental growing methods, or maybe it's not hot and dry enough. We've gotten a few hot peppers and the worms ate our squash plant. Is Chris for hire?
Fantastic cuke! I wish I had room for a garden - maybe next year when I move. Also, I'm a big Big Love fan! I don't think Bill's ready for a 4th wife though!
