Cucumber salad is a refreshing and vibrant dish perfect for a light side, appetizer, or snack. It's a harmony of flavors combining tangy lime juice, pungent vinegar, savory fish sauce, sweet sugar, and spicy chili peppers, topped with fresh coriander leaves. It's quick to make and offers a delightful crunch with every bite.
- For an extra crunch, consider adding some toasted peanuts or cashews on top.
- Marinate the cucumber slices in the dressing for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
- If you prefer a milder salad, remove the seeds from the chili peppers before chopping.
- Thinly slice the onion to ensure it doesn’t overpower the delicate cucumber flavor.
- Use fresh coriander leaves for the best taste and aroma; dried coriander can alter the intended flavor profile.
This cucumber salad is not only easy to prepare, but also nutritious and flavorful. The combination of fresh ingredients ensures a healthy and satisfying side dish that can complement any meal. Don't hesitate to experiment with the ingredients to match your personal taste preferences.
