Description

We’re totally into Thai here lately, as we’re heading there next month! This salad sounds like it’s full of delicious crunch! A great combination of sweet, hot and sour.

That’s so exciting that you’re heading to Thailand soon, (I wish you could pack me in your suitcase)!

Love how you worked through this recipe by memory instead of searching online. I’ve discovered that can do more harm than good…..giving you a totally different recipe than what you intended. And cucumbers are such a wonderful food!

Working from memory was perfect because I ended up recreating my dish really closely, and I’ve found the same thing when I look for a recipe it ends up being totally different, (good but different)!

Ingredients

  • 2 cucumbers, 1½ pounds
  • 2 cups slivered red onion, ½ medium, 5 ounces
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 Teaspoon sambal oelek chili paste, or 1 Teaspoon red pepper flakes, see notes
  • 2 Tablespoons maple syrup
  • ¼ cup freshly squeezed lime juice, or rice vinegar
  • 1 Teaspoon sea salt, or to your taste

Directions

  • Slice the ends off both cucumbers, and peel a few strips of the skin away with a vegetables peeler. Then cut the cucumbers in half lengthwise, and lay each half flat side down on the cutting board. Cut the halves, 1 or 2 at a time, into thin slices. On the bias looks nice: to do this, hold the knife at a 45ยบ angle to the cucumber and slice into thin diagonal shaped pieces.
  • Add the sliced cucumbers to a serving bowl along with the slivered onions, and cilantro.
  • Mix the dressing together by whisking the chili paste, maple syrup, lime juice, and sea salt together until completely mixed.
  • Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to combine.
  • Serve immediately, or refrigerate and serve within one week.
  • Serves: 4-6
