Thai Cucumber Salad Recipe

Thai Cucumber Salad   4 Servings, Prep Time: 15 Minutes, Cook Time: Description This sweet and tangy summer salad of cucumber, cilantro, and peanuts with just a hint of heat is always a hit at picnics and potlucks since it doesn't need to be refrigerated and you're pretty much guaranteed to be the only one bringing this dish! Ingredients ·         3 large cucumbers, peeled, halved lengthwise, seeded, and cut into 1/4-inch slices ·         1 tablespoon salt ·         1/2 cup Splenda ·         1/2 cup rice wine vinegar ·         2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and chopped ·         1/4 cup chopped cilantro ·         1/2 cup chopped peanuts Directions

1. Toss the cucumbers with the salt in a colander, and leave in the sink to drain for 30 minutes. Rinse with cold water, then drain and pat dry with paper towels.
2. Whisk together the sugar and vinegar in a mixing bowl until the sugar has dissolved. Add the cucumbers, jalapeno peppers, and cilantro; toss to combine. Sprinkle chopped peanuts on top before serving.

Enjoy!!!

I make this all the time, love it.

Thai food does not like me.

Is it the heat?  If so, just adjust the recipe so that you can enjoy the mix of flavors without
burning your tongue.  That's what I have to do, as I'm too much of a sissy for TWO jalepeno
peppers!!!

Lynn, I love spicy food and can eat jalapeno peppers straight out of the jar.  It's not the heat. 

I'm thinking that it's certain combinations of foods/spices that don't agree with me.  I've tried Thai food several times just to make sure it wasn't any particular restaurant.  My stomach got upset every time.  Same thing happened when I tried some Filipino food.

Well, "you're a better man than I am, Gunga Din!", because I am a real sissy when it comes to
hot peppers!

Too bad about not being able to handle Thai food--I really enjoy it for a change.

Thanks for posting this, it looks delicious!  I'm lucky, my grocery stores have tons of different rice vinegars so I can find the lowest sugar kind!  Some of them are pretty high.

Thanks Again,
