Cucumber Salad

My mom recently introduced me to these little tiny baby cucumbers that you can find in a pack at the grocery store. 

They are young, tender, and deliciously sweet.  I used them to make a very simple, 3-minute salad to go with my dinner the other night.  Check it out!

Ingredients:
-2 baby cucumbers
-1 1/2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
-2 tsp capers
-1 tbsp roasted red peppers, chopped

1.  Cut baby cucumbers into slices.  How cute are these?  They're the size of quarters :)

2.  Put cucumbers in a bowl and splash some balsamic vinegar onto it. 

3.  Add capers.  The salty briny flavor adds a fantastic element to the mix.

I love the flavor of capers in just about anything!

4.  Chop up some roasted red peppers (i get the kind in a jar so it's always available).

5.  Mix together and serve!

I love this simple salad that you can whip up in just a few minutes.  And i served it in a ramekin.  Just because I can :)

So simple, but packed with flavor.  Sweet cucumbers against that intense unmistakable flavor of balsamic vinegar, and the fantastic capers and red peppers.  Mmm! 

If you're bored of the same old lettuce-based salad, this is a great substitute!  And normal cucumbers would be just as good too :)  Cheers!
