Cucumber Salad is one of my favorite Thai snacks! It’s light, fresh, packed with flavor, virtually fat free & best of all easy to make.
Ingredients:
- 1 whole cucumber (I prefer the English Hothouse variety)
- 1 shallot
- A couple of red [bell] pepper slivers
- A few cilantro stems
- Fresh lime juice
- Couple of pinches of salt
- Couple of Pinches of sugar
- A few dashes of white vinegar
- A little water
Procedure:
- Thinly slice cucumber
- Chop pepper slivers
- Finely mince cilantro
- Coarsely mince shallot
- Mix wet & dry ingredients until dry ingredients are dissolved
- Add veggies to the wet mixture & toss
- Serve salad chilled & enjoy!
I garnished with a few sesame seeds & some fresh cracked pepper & it was off the chain.
BTW: I’m an old school cook & just like my mother, I measure nothing. When it looks right/smells right/feels right, I know its good to go.
