Side Salad

My husband has recently explained the infinity symbol to my son, telling him it is the biggest number. So now, when he wants to tell you some thing is really big or really wonderful, my son uses "the symbol". Tonight, he gave this salad "the symbol thumbs-up".

Cucumber Salad (from EveryDay Food magazine)

1 lbs. cucumbers, peeled, seeded, halved lengthwise and sliced 1/2 inch thick
a handful of chopped mint leaves

dressing:
2 TBSP vegetable oil
2 TBSP rice vinegar
1 TBSP fish sauce
2 tsp minced, peeled ginger
1 jalapeno, seeded and finely chopped
1 1/2 tsp sugar

Whisk together dressing ingredients until sugar dissolves. (To store, refrigerate up to three hours) Pour over cucumbers and mint and toss until well coated.

I served this with Pad Thai and it was a great combination.
