TOMATO SALAD WITH CUCUMBER AND GINGER



Tomato Salad With Cucumber and Ginger image

The classic combination of tomatoes and cucumbers gets new life here from a lively dressing of lime zest and juice, fish sauce and serrano chile inspired by Thai papaya salad. It's a study in contrasts: Bracing on its own, the salty-spicy vinaigrette is mellowed by fresh summer tomatoes and cucumbers. Large pieces of fresh ginger add a punch of spice without the heat, while cilantro and basil serve as fresh, cooling elements. Enjoy with red curry chicken, coconut rice and a nice crisp beer.

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest vegetables: Cucumbers, tomatoes, and onions should be ripe and firm. Overripe vegetables will make the salad watery and less flavorful.
  • Slice the vegetables thinly: This will help them absorb the dressing better and make the salad more refreshing.
  • Use a sharp knife: A dull knife will crush the vegetables and make them less appealing.
  • Don't overdress the salad: A little bit of dressing goes a long way. Too much dressing will make the salad soggy and oily.
  • Chill the salad before serving: This will help the flavors meld together and make the salad even more refreshing.

Conclusion:

This Asian cucumber, tomato, and onion salad is a healthy, refreshing, and flavorful dish that is perfect for a summer meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a light and healthy salad, give this one a try!
