Just made this as a side dish to my Traditional Bahraini Chicken Machboos / Machbous, not sure if this is traditional or not but it all went very well together.
This salad was light and fresh and you're right, blanching the okra kept it lovely and crunchy! I used balsamic vinegar and it gave it a great flavour. Thanks for sharing!

A simple cool summer salad. The okra did hold a nice crispy texture. I used spring onions instead of white. For my taste, next time I would shift the vinaigrette closer to 1:1 oil and vinegar.

Very nice. DH and I love our okra and have always had it as a main or side. I liked this salad. :-)

I made this tonight as part of a North African meal for ZWT3 and found it very good and a most welcome change of pace. I love okra and this is a perfect way to use it in the summer. I lightened up on the hot sauce just a bit so the salad wouldn't become the most predominate part of the meal. This is absolutely a repeat for me.

A friend left a bag of okra on my doorstep since I'm probably the only person she knows who will eat the stuff. I quickly made up this recipe with sweet onions and tomatoes from the garden. I did add a pinch of sugar and used white balsamic vinegar. The result was delicious!

If you like okra you will love these pickles, if you don't like okra I recommend you try this recipe anyway because the flavor is wonderful. I made the mistake of cooking the okra too long..5 minutes...because I thought mine were awfully large and needed a couple of minutes more. They got slimy! My husband didn't care and wolfed down the tasty mess, licking his fingers with glee.
Sharon, I'll turn into an okra lover yet because I'll make them again but only cook them the 3 minutes as you instruct.
