Fresh tasting and slight sweet. I let it marinate overnight. A nice change from my usual cucumber salad (white vinegar + water + salt + pepper). -
This was excellent -it doesn't get any faster and easier than this; the combination of honey and apple cider vinegar turned out to be a great combination. I didn't make any changes and I am very happy with the flavor. Not sure if I will even bother to leave it in the refrigerator for an hour, it tastes fine as it is right now! -
0.1g fat is light in anyone’s reckoning! This was SO quick to prepare and it is a delicious – and very different – way to serve cucumbers. I’ll be making them like this again. I didn’t have any cider vinegar, so I made this with red wine vinegar and – influenced by the name – I added a generous sprinkling of sweet paprika and a few grindings of black pepper. I allowed an overnight mingling of flavours before serving this to friends for lunch today. Everyone loved it. The cucumbers released a lot of liquid overnight, and I’m going to add that to some stock I’m making tomorrow! Thanks, Bergy, for sharing this little gem of a recipe. -
This was a refreshing change from the normal dill cucumber salads. It is a delicate taste that still allows the taste of the actual cucumbers to be enjoyed rather than masking them in a sauce. They were really easy to make too. Made for PAC Spring 2009. -
We thought it was rather bland; maybe we're conditioned to having cukes with dip too much....

Small town in the Okanagan, B.C.
On January 10 2010 I will celebrate 9 years of Life with Zaar. I can't imagine being without it! It has become part of my daily routine.
I feel very privileged to be one of the hosts on the Photo Forum. Taking photos of my culinary efforts is a full time hobby and I love it. My friends all know what to expect when they come to dinner "Are you finished taking pictures?" or "Did you get a photo of so & so?" I never let them wait too long and the food is NEVER cold! I now have over 6000 photos on Zaar - some fairly good and some definitely not so good. I am happy to say that practice does help.
My roots are in Vancouver BC Canada - a very beautiful city that holds many wonderful memories for me. In 1990, I decided that for my retirement years I may want to settle in a smaller community and found a slice of heaven in the North Okanagan B.C. I love living here but every once in a while I miss the bright city lights, the Broadway shows and some of the small wonderful ethnic restaurants that Vancouver abounds in. That is easily resolved. I just take a trip to the coast, visit with friends for a weekend see a show and feast on Dim Sum or other specialty foods.
I am getting a bit long in the tooth but was a very adventurous person. I have river rafted Hell's Gate on the Fraser river, been up in a glider over Hawaii (no not a Hang Glider!), gone hot air ballooning in the Napa Valley & the Fraser Valley, driven dune buggies on the dunes in Oregon, Para sailing in Mexico and tried many other adventurous, challenging, fun things. I have yet to try bungee jumping or sky diving. I may do them yet. I love to travel and experience other cultures. Mexco has been a favorite haunt. I have visited that lovely country many many times. Australia is another favorite as is England!
In the past 16 months I have taken off 61 pounds and feel wonderful. I am off all medications and all systems are GO! In years I may be 79 but in spirit I am still in my forties. We are only as old as we allow ourselves to feel. Always think positive. Do something a bit challenging every day & always do something silly every day. Be a kid again! Laugh every day - it is internal jogging.
