My friend Buffy gave me this recipe. I really didn't think that it would be that great, but it really is! This salad is very light and refreshing and would be the perfect side dish to a light summer meal. I think that it would pair perfectly with grilled salmon or seared tuna. Best if made within an hour or two of serving. Does not keep well overnight.
Ingredients:
4 tablespoons fish sauce
1 teaspoon lime zest, freshly grated
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 tablespoon canola oil or 1 tablespoon sunflower oil or 1 tablespoon grapeseed oil or 1 tablespoon other neutral oil
2 teaspoons light brown sugar
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 pinch kosher salt
1 medium english cucumber, 1/2 inch dice
1 avocado, 1/2 inch dice
1 mango, 1/2 inch dice
1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
1 tablespoon minced red onion (optional)
Directions:
1. For the dressing, wisk together first eight ingredients. Add cucumber, avacado, mango, cilantro and red onion if using. Toss gently then chill.
2. Serve within a few hours.
