Cool crunchy cucumbers tossed in a sweet and sour dressing with fresh mint and fiery chilies. Easy to assemble, packed with delicious sweet, salty, sour, spicy flavors, this Thai cucumber salad is perfect for summer.
Cucumbers aren't generally the main attraction at my house. I mostly use them as a vehicle for dipor for serving my smoked salmon tartar. In this refreshing summer salad, they are wonderful in their own right. Crisp juicy cucumber slices carry all the delicious complexity of the fresh herbs, fiery Thai chilies and vibrant sweet and sour dressing. This is a great summer side dish that you can whip up in about 20 minutes.
How do you make thai cucumber salad?
Cut the cucumber in half lengthwise and use a small demitasse spoon or the tip of a teaspoon to gently scoop out the seeds and pulp that run down the center of the cucumber. That's all there is to it.
A note about Thai Chilies: There are many types of chili peppers at the market labeled Thai Chilies. Any of them will work well in this dish. Be warned that they add a LOT of heat, especially if you include the seeds. The seeds are pretty easy to remove using the tip of a sharp knife. I recommend wearing gloves when handling these chilies.
Its got everything I love in a good salad and more. Lets start with the texture every bite is loaded with a nice and satisfying crunch. And that dressing! Its both sweet and tangy and has a little bit of heat from the red pepper flakes, more sesame flavor from the sesame oil and to round it all out umami from a few teaspoons of fish sauce. But dont worry, if the f word makes you want to avoid making this delicious salad. You can easily leave the fish sauce out and move right along like it was never meant to be there in the first place. Removing the fish sauce also makes this salad vegan-friendly so everyone can enjoy it.
And I know what youre thinking, its the last week of September, why the heck are we talking summery Thai cucumber salad recipes when the rest of the world is diving headfirst into all the fall comfort foods? The reality is that though my friends in the north are getting their first taste of a chill in the air, your friends down south are still working up a sweat with no end in sight.
What do you need to make thai cucumber salad?
You can make this salad the night before and let it sit in the fridge overnight allowing the cucumber to soak up all of that delicious dressing. I wouldnt recommend making this salad too far in advance because the cucumbers could become soggy you still want that nice, crisp crunch!
This salad is a great option to serve as is for a light meal, snack or even a healthy lunch! If you want to make it a full dinner, I would recommend pairing this dish with my Baked Thai Salmon or Crockpot Thai Chicken to really add to the Thai inspired flavors!
