The first time I made this salad I didn't have all the ingredients on hand so I made 2 substitutions that came out VERY GOOD. Instead of the fresh pepper I used dry chili de arbol (pretty spicy)and I used mint instead of cilantro. The thinner you sliced the cucumber, the better. Enjoy! Ingredients:
1/4 cup white vinegar |
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice |
2 tablespoons fish sauce |
3 tablespoons granulated sugar |
2 red jalapenos, chopped and pound to a paste |
2 garlic cloves, chopped and pound to a paste |
2 cucumbers, half lengthwise and sliced thinly |
2 shallots, thinly sliced |
2 tablespoons cilantro leaves, chopped |
2 tablespoons honey roasted peanuts, chopped |
Directions:
1. Combine the vinegar, lime juice, fish sauce and sugar. Add the pounded hot peppers and garlic. Stir well.
2. Toss the cucumbers and shallots with the sauce and cilantro.
3. Chill.
4. Just before serving, sprinkle with chopped peanuts.
