How to Make Ajar Thai Salad

  2. Wash and quarter 1 medium cucumber lengthwise.
  3. Gently scoop out and discard the seeds from the cucumber quarters.
  4. Slice the cucumber quarters crosswise into 1/8-inch thick slices.
  5. Add the sliced cucumber, 1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion, 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro, and 1-2 Thai chili peppers, finely minced (adjust to your spice preference), to the vinegar dressing.
  6. Gently toss all ingredients until the cucumber and onions are evenly coated with the dressing.
  7. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, stirring occasionally to ensure even flavor distribution.
  8. Serve the chilled Ajar Thai Salad over a bed of your favorite greens. Garnish with extra cilantro and chili flakes (optional).
