SWEET AND TANGY THAI CUCUMBER SALAD



Sweet and Tangy Thai Cucumber Salad image

This salad is a refreshing side to spicy Thai food. I prefer it without hot peppers or peanuts since its major purpose for me is refreshment. It's especially quick to make if you can slice the cucumbers and onions in a food processor.

THAI SWEET-AND-SOUR CUCUMBER SALAD



Thai Sweet-And-Sour Cucumber Salad image

From Real Vegetarian Thai by Nancie McDermott. In the note it says that if you are using a nice, unwaxed cucumber to leave some of the skin on. (I never use the cilantro.) This goes well with Thai Shrimp With Coconut-Almond Rice, Recipe #287896.
