Thai Cucumber Salad

This Thai Inspired Cucumber Salad is light, crisp, and loaded with flavor! It's a little spicy from jalapeños and has a great crunch from roasted peanuts. Simple, healthy and absolutely delicious! Perfect for using up a bumper crop of cucumbers in the summer. I could eat this every single day!

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • ⅓ cup fresh lime juice from about 2 limes
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce
  • 1 medium-large shallot
  • ½ - 1 whole jalapeño or other chile pepper adjust amount depending on desired level of heat*
  • 2 medium cucumbers peeled only if the skin is bitter or thick, seeded only if they're huge and unpalatable
  • ¼ cup roughly chopped cilantro loosely packed**
  • ¼ cup Roughly chopped peanuts

Notes

  • *Thai bird chiles, serrano chiles, or your favorite pepper can be substituted here. If you're very sensitive to heat, remove the seeds from the chile first, substitute a milder pepper, or leave it out all together.
  • **If you're not a fan of cilantro, substitute Thai basil or fresh mint instead.
  • I use a mandolin to make super thin, even slices, but a sharp knife will get the job done just fine.
