A dish that is fast emerging as one of the more popular Salads this summer is the classic Cucumber Salad! Thinly sliced pieces of peeled Cucumber that have been left to swim in a delicious sweet and spicy marinade, topped with some crunchy Peanuts for a bit of texture. This is a fantastic Salad to enjoy in the warmer weather, and rightfully so. It is a dish that has come out of Southeast Asia where it is hot all-year round!

We love this Salad because of the intense flavors and aromatics packed into it. A sour, funky flavor is brought in from the Lime Juice and Fish Sauce which is balanced with a touch of sweetness from some Palm Sugar. The Sweet and Sour combination is married with a touch of heat from some freshly sliced Red Chilis (it\u2019s a dish from Thailand after all, you need a bit of heat!)

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We recommend this easy summer salad is enjoyed as a side to a wonderful protein. Why not try baking up a whole fish on the outdoor grill and serve this Salad on the side. It\u2019s a perfect combination of flavors, and a great meal for Summer
