The Easiest Ever Thai Cucumber Salad
Whip up this easy Thai Cucumber Salad for a burst of fresh, vibrant flavors with minimal effort! Perfect alongside your favorite Thai dishes or as a light, refreshing side, this recipe combines crisp cucumbers, spicy jalapenos, and a tangy dressing for a delicious addition to any meal.
Ingredients
- 2 large English cucumbers halved lengthwise, and cut into 1/4 inch "moons"
- 1 TBSP kosher salt
- 1/3 cup rice wine vinegar
- 2 jalapeno peppers seeded and diced
- 1/4 cup chopped peanuts
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Begin by placing a colander into your sink, adding the sliced cucumbers, and tossing them with the salt. Allow them to sit for 30 minutes and then rinse well with cold water. Dry them really well with a paper towel or a clean white flour sack towel.
- Next, whisk together the sugar and rice vinegar in a small bowl until the sugar is completely dissolved. Place the cucumber slices, jalapenos, and cilantro (if using) in a large bowl. Pour the salad dressing over the salad ingredients and gently stir everything together to combine.
- Allow the salad to chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld. (Plus, this salad tastes best when chilled.) Sprinkle with the chopped peanuts just before serving.
