This recipe for Spicy Cucumber Salad brings together 2 English cucumbers, 1/2 medium red onion, chopped, 1 -2 jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped in a practical dish for home cooking. It takes about 15 min to prepare and cook. It makes approximately 4 servings.
I adapted this heavily from a recipe in the July/August 2011 issue of Food Network Magazine. I thought I made enough changes to warrant calling it a new recipe, and it came out great. Hope you enjoy!

Trying to add different dishes and salads to the “Saturday Lunch at the Farm” crowd brought the dawn of new tastes and new ways of devouring lunch. This salad goes particularly well when “Tommy the Beefsteak Tomato” or “Penelope the Plum tomato” when in the summer you can actually smell the tomatoes maturing and growing big right before you eyes. The use of fresh mint really highlights this simple salad along with the use of fresh scallions, and cucumbers. Even during the cold winter, to bring this bright salad to the table can bring smiles and salad bowls handed down to add just a little more. This is a rustic salad that jumps up and grabs you to behold it. Hey, who said the “Farm” can’t be healthful too. Don’t hesitate to change the ingredients or using fresh green or red peppers instead of the chilies. Go ahead….it’s ok! Enjoy mostly……and have fun *Note* my friend Maito tried this and her suggestions were so good I incorporated the into this recipe. I think it was perfect, thank you Maito!
This is an adopted recipe that I haven’t yet tried. The original chef comments: “My good friend’s Indian mother-in-law taught me how to cook this. Auntie (I call her Auntie) is from Hyderabad, is one of the best cooks I know and is very patient! There are a few steps to this recipe and you need some special ingredients, but it is really good, authentic South Indian cuisine. I’m posting some photographs with this recipe so you can see what these ingredients look like. They can all be found at an Indian grocery. Everything is listed in the order in which you will use it. Be brave; if you are patient, willing to take your time and have everything ready before hand, you will be rewarded with a delicious result. (Prep time is approximate and could be a little longer).”
