Spicy Thai Cucumber Salad Recipe
This spicy Thai cucumber salad has a classic Asian flavour, with a touch of sweetness and a hint of spiciness. I love Thai food, but I don’t usually know where to start when it comes to getting those amazing flavours. This recipe uses simple ingredients that you should be able to find on the shelves at your regular grocery store. It’s not overpoweringly spicy, just enough to give it a small kick and to take things up a notch! It tastes amazing and totally reminds me of the food served at my favourite Thai restaurant!
When we were in University, my sister and I joined the “Fine Dining Club”, which kind of sounds ridiculous now looking back, but it was a fantastic way for us to try out a bunch of the awesome little restaurants in our city that we never would have found. There was a group of about 8 of us, all studying different things in school, and we would meet at different restaurants and try adventurous new foods. We were students and none of us had a whole lot of money, so we couldn’t really afford the “gourmet” restaurants. So we went for international foods instead.
