Ingredients

- 1 Tbsp. brown sugar
- 2 tsp. chili-garlic sauce
- 2 cloves garlic very finely minced

- 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/4 c. chopped cashews
Instructions
- Combine the lime juice, fish sauce, brown sugar, chili-garlic sauce, and garlic in a small bowl. Set aside for 10 minutes to soften the garlic's flavors.
- Combine chopped cilantro and cucumbers in a large bowl, add the dressing and black pepper, then toss to coat. Keep in the fridge until ready to serve.
- Immediately before serving, sprinkle the chopped cashews over the top. You can also serve this salad alongside Peanut Panang Beef Curry.

Notes
- Store the Spicy Thai Cucumber Salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator; it's best consumed within 1-2 days, as cucumbers tend to lose their crunch over time.
