Try this Thai-inspired salad with chicken or fish. The sugar in the dressing balances the heat of the red pepper. Salting the cucumber slices draws out some of the moisture, so they're especially crisp in the salad.
I made this salad as a counterpoint to a Korean beef kalbi entree. The salad was excellent; bright and crispy with only a hint of spicy heat. I followed the recipe exactly with one exception: extra peanuts! My wife is not a big cucumber fan, but even she said that the salad was outstanding. Thank you for posting such a great recipe.
This does take more time, but my favorite cucumber salad.
I've made this recipe many times, and it always turns out great. It's an excellent salad to pair with "Broiled Tilapia with Thai Coconut-Curry Sauce".
This recipe was excellent! I didn't make any modifications. I will definitely make again.
I absolutely love this dish. I make this a lot during the spring/summer months. Must try!!!
I've been making this side dish for years. It's simple and tasty - always a hit!
This tastes pretty good but was a lot more work than my standard cucumber recipe. I probably won't make it again.
Perfect with Thai food and a great way to get a (or two) serving of vegetables. I have returned to this recipe numerous times.
Made this tonight with some of the 8 million cucumbers we have coming out of our garden right about now. It was DELICIOUS! My husband really liked it too. I will definitely be making this again and I wouldn't change a thing.
Superb recipe! I also used Splenda instead of sugar. Really tasty. I'll be making this one again and again this summer!
Excellent side dish for a thai dinner. I served it with chicken and pork sates and sticky rice. I made the recipe as written and would not change anything.
