Cucumber Salad (x2 scale)
Recipe by user david
A crisp Thai-style cucumber salad with a simple sweet-sour vinegar dressing and fresh coriander.
Serves 8
This simply dressed cucumber salad is cooling and refreshing, designed to balance the “furious heat” of many Thai dishes. It’s quick to assemble and works especially well as a side for spicy curries, stir-fries, and grilled meats. Use an English cucumber for fewer seeds and thinner skin (or peel if using a standard cucumber), slice everything thinly for the best crunch, and whisk the sugar until fully dissolved so the dressing coats the vegetables evenly.
- 20 20 english cucumbers, preferably English
Wash and dry cucumber. (Peel the cucumber if not using English.) Cut in half lengthwise and then into quarters. Slice the quarters into 1/4-inch/5-mm pieces. Arrange on a plate.
- 0.667 0.667 red bell peppers
- 1 1 red onion
Thinly slice juliennes of red pepper and red onion. Scatter on the cucumber decoratively.
- 2 Tbsp 2 Tbsp (25 g) sugar
- 1 tsp 1 tsp (6 g) salt
- fresh coriander leaves
- 1⁄4 cup 1⁄4 cup (60 g) rice vinegar or vinegar
In a small bowl whisk sugar, vinegar and salt, until well mixed. Distribute this dressing evenly over the vegetables and top generously with fresh coriander leaves.
