without it being something heavy in carbs or a regular salad.
You can whip this cucumber carrot thing together in a matter of minutes.
It's kind of a slaw, kind of a salad but basically one the easiest side dishes
you can make from scratch and pretty healthy as well.
Take a carrot and a cucumber
(one of each for the picture below-enough for 2-3 people)
and cut it, slice it, dice it, make cool shapes,
whatever and however you want the pieces to look.
Throw it into a bowl, add drizzle of rice vinegar (about 2 TBSP)
and grate in half an apple.
When it comes to flavors, you often want something tart/bitter/sour
to be paired with something sweet to counter balance each other.
In this case, the grated apple works really well with the rice vinegar.
Granted, you can add some sugar instead but let's be healthier and
grate in an apple- you can grate a pear instead if you'd like also.
That's all there is to it.
you can actually see the grated apple pieces as you eat your simple slaw as a side dish.
