Thai Cucumber Salad image

The vegetables in this crunchy, satisfying Thai Cucumber Salad can be tossed together with the tangy rice vinegar dressing a week in advance, leaving nothing more to do before serving than to scatter roasted peanuts and fresh herbs over the top.

Time 35m

Yield Serves 2 to 4; Makes about 2 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup unseasoned rice vinegar
2 tablespoons sugar
Kosher salt
1 English cucumber (12 ounces), thinly sliced (2 1/2 cups)
1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced (1/2 cup)
1 Thai chile, thinly sliced (seeded for less heat, if desired)
1/4 cup roasted unsalted peanuts, roughly chopped
1/2 cup fresh herbs, such as Thai basil, mint, and cilantro, roughly chopped

Steps:

  • Bring vinegar, sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon salt to a boil in a small saucepan. Reduce heat to medium and cook until mixture has consistency of syrup, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl; let cool completely.
  • Add cucumber, onion, and chile; toss to combine. Let stand until cucumbers absorb liquid, 5 minutes, then toss again. Salad can be refrigerated, covered, up to 1 week. Top with peanuts and herbs just before serving.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover cucumbers. It's also a great side dish for any grilled meat or fish.
