I made this tonight as part of a North African meal for ZWT3 and found it very good and a most welcome change of pace. I love okra and this is a perfect way to use it in the summer. I lightened up on the hot sauce just a bit so the salad wouldn't become the most predominate part of the meal. This is absolutely a repeat for me.

    A friend left a bag of okra on my doorstep since I'm probably the only person she knows who will eat the stuff. I quickly made up this recipe with sweet onions and tomatoes from the garden. I did add a pinch of sugar and used white balsamic vinegar. The result was delicious!

    A simple cool summer salad. The okra did hold a nice crispy texture. I used spring onions instead of white. For my taste, next time I would shift the vinaigrette closer to 1:1 oil and vinegar.
