I always seem to create things when I have an odd craving or I am in a rush and forgot I was supposed to bring something to a potluck. Well, the latter is behind this creation. I went to the gym straight from work and forgot that I needed to be making something to bring to a little summer get together dinner! I am trying not to save money and I was already short on time so I had to think quick. I looked in the fridge and hoped cucumbers would work. Also, a friend of mine from work just found out she has Celiac disease, so I needed to come up with something that would be gluten-free. So...
Cucumber Salad
1 1/2 cucumbers
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp fresh basil
1 tsp fresh ground pepper
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1/4 c feta cheese
1/4 c nuts, chopped (I chopped them myself to avoid any traces of gluten)
*Any combination will work. I used walnuts and pecans.
Cut cucumbers in half, width wise, then cut in half again then quarter. Slice into quartered slices and put in a large bowl. mix in remaining ingredients.
* You can also add extra ingredients like lemon juice, tomatoes, avocados, etc.
serves 4-6

Mmm,mmm! This reminds me of the cucumbers and vinegar that my mom used to make all summer. Only new and improved! I've got a friend that has celiac, I'll have to pass it on.
This looks so good. I am going to have to try it.
