Here's another creamy salad recipe to add to your plant-based Fourth of July recipe list. Make this along side the creamy cole slaw I shared before this video. Together, they will rock your plate of awesomeness.
This is the first recipe I have seen on the Pioneer Woman website via tastykitchen that fits the vegan diet or plant based diet. I can't wait to make this for dinner or take to a potfaith (potluck).
Spicy Pickled Cucumbers 1 whole Large English Cucumber 1 cup Rice Wine Vinegar ¼ cups Sugar 2 teaspoons Kosher Salt ¼ teaspoons Crushed Red Pepper Flakes 1. Thinly slice the cucumber, and set aside. 2. Warm the rice wine vinegar, sugar, salt and red pepper flakes in a small saucepan. When you have brought it to a simmer, whisk well to make sure that the sugar and salt have dissolved. 3. Transfer it to a bowl and let it cool completely. 4. When the liquid is cool, add the cucumber slices. 5. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
