THREADGILL'S COTTAGE CHEESE CUCUMBER SALAD



Threadgill's Cottage Cheese Cucumber Salad image

This refreshing salad from Threadgill's brings back fond memories of iced tea, live music, fried catfish, and other delights from the Austin, TX restaurant. The dish can be served as a side salad, or, for a low-calorie lunch, serve on a bed of lettuce with some tomato wedges sprinkled with salt & pepper. I clipped the recipe from the Austin American Statesman many years ago. The original called for fresh parsley, but I like it with the dill.

Categories     Vegetable

Time 5m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

16 ounces low fat cottage cheese
1 cucumber
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
1/4 cup chopped green onion
pepper
Tabasco sauce

Steps:

  • Peel the cucumber and slice lengthwise into halves. Scrape out the seeds and discard, then chop the cucumber.
  • In a medium bowl, mix together the cottage cheese, cucumber, dill, and green onion. Fresh dill is best, but if you must substitute, use only 1 tsp of dried.
  • Sprinkle on some black pepper and 3 dashes of Tabasco, stir again, and taste. Add more pepper and Tabasco to your taste. If you wish, skip the Tabasco and let everybody add it to their own serving.
  • Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh, crisp cucumbers. English or Persian cucumbers are ideal.
  • To make the salad ahead of time, prepare the cucumber and onion mixture and store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Add the dressing just before serving.
  • If you don't have rice vinegar, you can substitute white vinegar or apple cider vinegar.
  • To make a vegan version of the salad, omit the fish sauce and use vegetable broth instead.
  • To add a bit of heat to the salad, add a pinch of chili flakes or a finely chopped chili pepper.
  • Serve the salad chilled as a refreshing side dish or appetizer.

Conclusion:

Tam Taeng Cucumber Salad is a refreshing and flavorful salad that is perfect for summer. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With its sweet, tangy, and slightly spicy flavor, this salad is sure to be a hit at your next party or potluck.
