This is a nice Indonesian salad, quick and easy to prepare and goes well with everything.
Ingredients:
2 lbs cucumbers
1/2 cup chopped fresh basil
1 -2 medium red onion
to taste currants (optional)
to taste garlic powder
to taste red pepper flakes or to taste white wine vinegar
to taste water
1 cup tomato, chopped (optional)
Directions:
1. Thin-slice the cucumbers and onions and put them in a container.
2. Rip or chop the basil and toss it in.
3. Pour in vinegar and water.
4. I use less vinegar than water, but you want the vinegar a little strong so it will get into the cucumber.
5. Sprinkle in some garlic, maybe 1/2 teaspoon? Let this marinate for at least 2 hours.
6. It keeps well in the refrigerator for days.
7. Add the tomatoes at the last minute.
