Spicy Thai Cucumber Salad with Chili and Cilantro - Refreshing & Quick
My spicy Thai cucumber salad with chili and cilantro is the perfect choice when you crave a crunchy, light, and incredibly aromatic side dish. As a home cook, I love how the fresh heat of the chili harmonizes with the cooling cucumber. This dish is known in Thai cuisine as a classic salad and impresses with its healthy lightness and quick preparation. If you are looking for a recipe that doesn't rely on complicated processed products and where the ingredients speak for themselves, you will love this salad! I prefer to prepare it fresh so the cucumbers stay nice and crunchy. Grab your knife and let's conjure up this little, fiery treat together – it's really child's play and brings plenty of zest to your kitchen. The interplay of acidity, sweetness, and the spicy cilantro is simply unbeatable for hot days or as a tangy addition to Asian dishes. Meow, it just tastes wonderful!
Ingredients
Preparation
First, wash the cucumber (1) thoroughly, halve it lengthwise, and cut it into thin slices.
Remove the seeds from the red chili (1) and chop into very fine rings – watch your paws, it can be spicy!
Coarsely chop the fresh cilantro (10 g) so the delicate aromas can unfold beautifully.
For the dressing, whisk together the lime juice (15 ml), agave syrup (5 ml), and sea salt (2 g) in a small bowl until smooth.
Now add the cucumber slices, chili, and cilantro into a bowl and gently toss with the prepared dressing so everything is evenly coated.
