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.

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 dried Thai chiles, soaked for 2 minutes in warm water, drained
3 small garlic cloves, crushed
1/4 lime, cut into 3 wedges
1 tablespoon palm sugar or granulated sugar
1 tablespoon dried tiny shrimp
9 long beans (2 1/2 ounces) or green beans, trimmed, cut into 2 1/2" lengths
2 kirby cucumbers or 1 English hothouse cucumber, coarsely chopped into 1" pieces
2 tablespoons Thai fish sauce (nam pla)
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
6 cherry tomatoes, halved
2 tablespoons crushed roasted, unsalted peanuts

Steps:

  • Place first 4 ingredients in a clay mortar and pound with a wooden pestle until mashed into a fine paste, about 5 minutes. Add shrimp; mash until pulverized and well combined, about 2 minutes. (Alternatively, process in a mini-processor until finely chopped.)
  • Add long beans to mortar; lightly crush with pestle to bruise. Add cucumber pieces, fish sauce, and lime juice. Mix well. Add tomatoes, lightly crush, and mix in. (Alternatively, place beans and tomatoes in a resealable plastic bag. Roll a rolling pin over bag to bruise vegetables; transfer to a bowl with the cucumber, fish sauce, lime juice, and chile dressing.) Let marinate for 10 minutes. Stir in peanuts.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe and juicy tomatoes: For the best flavor, use ripe, in-season tomatoes. Look for tomatoes that are evenly colored and free of blemishes.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as cilantro, basil, and mint, add a bright and flavorful touch to this salad. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use less, as they are more concentrated.
  • Don't overcook the ginger: Ginger is a key ingredient in this salad, but it can easily become overpowering if it is overcooked. Be sure to cook the ginger gently over low heat until it is fragrant and slightly softened.
  • Adjust the spiciness to your taste: This salad can be made as spicy or mild as you like. If you want a spicier salad, add more chili peppers or chili sauce. If you prefer a milder salad, omit the chili peppers or use less chili sauce.
  • Serve immediately: This salad is best served immediately after it is made. The tomatoes and cucumbers will start to release their juices, so the salad will become watery if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

This Thai-style tomato salad is a refreshing and flavorful dish that is perfect for a hot summer day. 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 Thai-style tomato salad a try. You won't be disappointed!
