Cool Cukes
This is my version of the pickled vegetables they serve at Vietnamese restaurants. I have eliminated the sugar by using Splenda. This is a very refreshing and bright tasting side dish. It goes very well with rice based dishes or grilled meats. FYI - You can buy already prepared matchstick carrots in the grocery store.
