| Cucumbers from my garden, unpeeled |
I love vegetables, I love salads, but that was not always the case. My mother used a lot of vegetables in the soups she made for us when we were children, but did not try to convince us to eat other vegetables.
Mamina loved this very simple, quick salad. Sliced cucumbers with vinegar, oil, salt and pepper. As a child I refused to eat it. I thought cucumbers were boring and that I didn't like vinegar and oil. Yucky adult food, would not even try it. Thank goodness we get to learn and grow in this life!
PEPINOS CON ACEITE Y VINAGRE or
Cucumber Salad
1 Cucumber, peeled and thinly sliced
2 Tablespoons Raw Apple Cider Vinegar
1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
1/2 teaspoon Real Salt or sea salt
Fresh ground black pepper, to taste
Peel and slice the cucumber. Add vinegar, olive oil and salt. Sprinkle with black pepper. Stir and taste. Enjoy.
I'm glad my children and grandchildren are not as silly as I was. They love this salad and if I make it and leave it on the counter, it usually gets eaten up before the rest of dinner is finished and served!
Here is a video with my granddaughters, making Pepino salad.
I love your recipe. Usually they put onions in and I don't like that ingredient in this recipe. Yours is my new favorite for cucumber salad!! Your grand-daughters are adorable!! I love that you cook with them and teach them your family recipes!
ReplyDeleteThis Pepinos con aceite y vinagre cucumber salad sounds wonderfully refreshing and full of flavor. I love how such simple ingredients—fresh cucumbers, oil, and vinegar—can create a dish that’s both light and satisfying. The tangy dressing paired with the crisp texture makes it perfect for warm days or as a refreshing side to any meal. It’s great to see recipes that focus on simplicity while still delivering great taste. I also appreciate how quick and easy it is to prepare. This is definitely a healthy, versatile dish that anyone can enjoy anytime.
