Right next to tomatoes, cucumbers\u00a0are one of the most widely cultivated fruits in the world. \u00a0They are grown to be eaten fresh, and can be savored alone or accompanied by other fruits. The regular intake of cucumbers is very helpful \u00a0internally as well as externally; they provide wonderful combinations\u00a0of\u00a0nutrients as well as natural hydration. Grown year round, this treat is easily enjoyed! This week, \u00a0Chef Kristen Burman found a refreshing way to combine\u00a0cucumbers with traditional Asian flavors like ginger and sesame, creating a delightful and quick salad. Director of Restaurant Operations, Marc Canzoneri found a delious cocktail to complete this remarkable \u00a0farm fresh pick!<\/p>\n
To start this colorful salad, Chef \u00a0Burman\u00a0\u00a0begins by \u00a0peeling the skin off of a few cucumbers, then continues \u00a0using the peeler to create thin ribbons. \u00a0Stop peeling right before getting to the seeds, as this will not allow you to peel neat ribbons. \u00a0Next, toss the cucumbers with a sliced red pepper, sesame oil, sesame seeds, basil, cilantro, scallions, granted ginger, and fresh lime juice. \u00a0Top the whole dish with red cabbage and pickled ginger. If you have something fancy to serve it in, even better, as this salad can have a pretty stunning presentation. This simple salad is super easy to make, and even easier to enjoy.<\/p>\n When thinking of a pairing for this dish, we all returned to an Anthology staple, Marc’s Voodoo Child.<\/p>\n Ingredients:<\/strong><\/p>\n Hendricks Gin Muddle a little cucumber and apple and shake with 2oz gin and a splash of simple syrup. Strain, and serve in a martini glass. Garnish by floating a thin apple slice on top of the drink, and placing a cucumber slice on the rim. \u00a0For an added bonus: eat the apple and the cucumber for a boost in your fruit and veggie servings for the day!<\/p>\n Be sure to stop by this week and enjoy\u00a0this\u00a0refreshing salad paired with fine tuned music, We look\u00a0forward\u00a0to seeing you soon.\u00a0Cheers!<\/p>\n *** Tonight *** Jimmie Vaughan at 7:30 pm<\/a> & \u00a0Candye Kane at 9:30pm<\/a><\/p>\n 9\/29 Kenny Lattimore at 7:30 & 9:30 pm<\/a><\/p>\n 9\/30 \u00a0Kelli Rudick CD Release at 7:00 pm<\/a><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/anthologysd.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/logo_small_cucumbersalad.jpg\" "\\"logo_small_cucumbersalad\\""){kind=logo}
