Thai Cucumber Salad

Thai Cucumber Salad

With Sahale Snacks® Thai Cashews Glazed Mix

This tasty and unique recipe makes a wonderful addition to the dinner table any time of year. It’s terrific with spicy grilled foods, delicately cooked salmon or prawns, and cracked crab.

Add the sugar/vinegar solution to taste. Sometimes the cucumbers need less than the 3 tablespoons. Leftover cucumber salad is terrific as a sandwich topper especially on roasted chicken. Larger batches of the vinegar mixture can be made in advance. I do a batch of 3 tablespoons brown sugar and 3 ounces vinegar and store it in a squirt bottle in the refrigerator so I can just add some to a batch of cucumbers when I want.
