Filipino Cucumber Salad
This refreshing summer salad is adapted from a recipe in The Asian Bistro Cookbook (Robert Rose, 1997) by our food editor, Andrew Chase. In the Phillipines, cane or palm vinegar would replace the rice vinegar.

- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp (15 mL) granulated sugar
- 1-1/2 tsp (7 mL) salt
- 1/4 tsp (1 mL) black pepper
