Rose's Refreshing Chinese Cucumber Salad

Cucumbers are a cooling vegetable.  They add a great touch to a lot of salads.  The salad I'm sharing today puts cucumbers on the center stage.  

My Taiwanese friend Rose brought it over for a potluck a few years ago. This salad is a wonderful salad to accompany any Chinese stir-fry, and it even goes well with her BBQ chicken recipe.  Enjoy!

Rose's Refreshing Chinese Cucumber Salad

1.  Prepare vegetables:
(1)  Peel stripes on 2 large cucumber.
(2)  Slice 4 tomatoes into tiny wedges
(3)  Chop 1/4th of a sweet onion into 1" tiny slices
(4)  Chop 2 T of cilantro

2.  Prepare dressing - In a small bowl whisk together:
(1)  3 T rice vinegar, 1 T olive oil,  1 tsp. agave syrup
(2)  Seasonings:  1/2 tsp. salt and 1/2 tsp. pepper.

3.  Drizzle the dressing over the vegetables and lightly stir them to coat.  Let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes before serving.
