Notes
- Score the cucumber with a fork before slicing - this will help the dressing cling to it better.
- For some extra crunch, add some crushed cashews or peanuts to the top of the salad.
- You could slice the cucumbers lengthways and then scoop the seeds out before slicing, but we like the seeds.
- If you want a bit of an extra fresh flavour, then you can add some fresh chopped coriander (cilantro).
- You can just mix everything together straight away like we have, but you could also add some salt to the cucumbers to draw some water out and then rinse them. These will give crispier cucumbers.
