Acar (Indonesian Garden Salad)

Ingredients :

1/2 cup Water, cold
1/2 cup White vinegar
1 slc Ginger root, crushed
3 1/2 tbl Sugar
3 tsp Salt
1 x Yellow onion, thinly sliced
5 cup Cabbage, thinly sliced
1 cup Carrot, finely shredded
2 cup Cucumber, thinly sliced

Method :

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