Equipment

  • grater
  • knife
  • colander

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cucumbers grated into strips
  • 1-2 serrano or jalapeño peppers seeded & chopped
  • 2 shallots or 1 small onion chopped
  • ½ C cherry tomatoes cut into quarters
  • ¼ C cilantro rough chopped

Dressing

  • ¼ C fresh lime juice
  • 2-3 T fish sauce
  • 1-2 T Siracha
  • 2 T Sweet Chili Sauce

Instructions
 

  • Peel cucumbers. Using a grater, spiralizer, or if you have mad knife skills like my sister-in-law, cut them into matchstick sized strips. Discard the seeds.   Place in a colander on top of a few paper towels or cheese cloth and squeeze out the excess juice. Place the cucumbers into a medium mixing bowl.
  • Add the next 4 ingredients into the bowl with the cucumbers

Dressing

  • Whisk together the lime juice, fish sauce, siracha, and sweet chili sauce and pour it over the salad. ** I double the dressing and keep it in the fridge. It goes great with Thai Beef Salad and Sticky Rice.**
