Acar (indonesian garden salad)

8 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
½ cup Water; cold
½ cup White vinegar
1 slice Ginger root; crushed
3½ tablespoon Sugar
3 teaspoons Salt
1 Yellow onion; thinly sliced
5 cups Cabbage; thinly sliced
1 cup Carrot; finely shredded
2 cups Cucumber; thinly sliced

Directions

In salad bowl combine first five ingredients. Add vegetables. Toss thoroughly and refrigerate at least one hour.

NOTES : This is very easy and has an interesting flavor. I last made it in February 1998. I used red and green cabbage and brought it to an engagement party in an antique covered serving dish.
