Ingredients
Salad Ingredients
- 2 Cucumbers
- 1/2 tsp Salt or to taste
- 1 Onion red, small, thinly sliced
- 1 tbsp Spring Onion Greens chopped, for garnish
- 2 tbsp Peanuts chopped, roasted
Dressing Ingredients
- 2 tsp Sugar
- 4-5 tsp Water
- 5 tsp Chili Sauce sweet
- 1 tsp Apple Cider Vinegar
Instructions
- Peel the cucumbers and cut them into bite-sized pieces.
- Place the cucumber pieces in a bowl. Sprinkle with salt. Toss gently to combine. This helps draw out excess moisture and enhances the flavor. Refrigerate for 10-15 minutes.
- While the cucumbers chill, prepare the dressing. In a small saucepan, combine the sugar, water, sweet chili sauce, and apple cider vinegar.
- Heat the dressing over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it slightly thickens. Remove from heat and let it cool completely.
- Remove the cucumbers from the refrigerator and drain any released water.
- Add the sliced red onion to the cucumbers. Pour the cooled dressing over the cucumbers and onions. Toss gently to coat evenly.
- Garnish with chopped roasted peanuts and spring onion greens. Serve immediately and enjoy the refreshing crunch and flavors!
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips
- For a creamier dressing, use full-fat Greek yogurt. For a lighter dressing, use low-fat or non-fat Greek yogurt.
- Adjust the amount of dill, mint, and lemon juice to your liking. If you like a stronger flavor, add more. If you prefer a milder flavor, add less.
- Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a touch of heat.
Storage Instructions
- Store leftover cucumber salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
