Thai Cucumber Salad

August 6, 2017 by Chef K

Back at it again. Here we are at the kitchen of cringe kickin’ yet another meal your way to feast your eyes on and maybe even your mouth on.

And when you put your mouth on things, you want to make sure those things feel right. You know what I’m saying. After simmering the sauce to thicken it, be sure to let it cool off to the side. This is not the time for warm cucumber in your mouth.

When we manufactured the ingredients list, I first figured that sesame seeds would be the seeds of my dreams for this Thai salad. However, I don’t know what sesame seeds are and got shelled sunflower seeds instead. No number of apple cider vinegar detoxes will rid me of the shame.

Regardless, this is our recipe, so I can use whatever seeds I want! Don’t put me in a box.

Our dressing to cucumber ratio was a tad bit off in our pics, but I did adjust it in the recipe. Our tip to you is to add a little dressing, toss your cucumbers, and then add more dressing as needed. This is not a cucumber soup.

Keep your sauce on the food, not the floor,
