Originally in an Eating Well Newsletter. Combine cucumber, pineapple and avocado with a sweet & sour dressing to make it tropical tasting. The recipe called for a mango but we are not mango eaters, so I changed a few things.
Ingredients:
3 -5 teaspoons fish sauce
1 teaspoon freshly grated lime zest, plus more for garnish
2 tablespoons lime juice (not the bottled stuff)
1 tablespoon canola oil
2 teaspoons light brown sugar
1 teaspoon rice vinegar
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 medium english cucumber, cut into 3/4-inch dice
1 avocado, cut into 3/4-inch dice
1/2 fresh pineapple, cut into 3/4-inch dice
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
crushed macadamia nuts, to taste
Directions:
1. Whisk fish sauce to taste, lime zest, lime juice, oil, brown sugar, vinegar and crushed red pepper flakes in a large bowl until combined.
2. Add cucumber, avocado, pineapple, macadamia nuts and cilantro; gently toss to coat.
3. Serve garnished with lime zest, if desired.
