How to Make Thai Cucumber Salad
- Peel 2 medium cucumbers.
- Cut off the ends of the cucumbers, halve them lengthwise, and gently scrape out the seeds with a spoon.
- Thinly slice the cucumbers into half-moons.
- In a medium bowl, combine the sliced cucumbers, 2-3 Thai chilies (finely sliced), and ½ small red onion (thinly sliced).
- Add 1/4 cup cooked ground shrimp (or substitute with 1/4 cup cooked chicken or tofu), 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice, 1 tablespoon fish sauce, 1 tablespoon sugar, and 1 tablespoon peanut oil.
- Toss everything together gently until well combined.
- Allow the salad to sit for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld, or serve immediately. Garnish with 2 tablespoons chopped roasted peanuts before serving.
