TAM TAENG ( CUCUMBER SALAD)



Tam Taeng ( Cucumber Salad) image

The Thais, like other people who live in hot climates, are quick to appreciate the refreshing qualities of the cucumber. This simple salad is very popular and very rarely varied. Scouring the cucumbers decoratively, as the Thais would do, makes this dish visually alluring. This recipe comes from a great little book called 'The Best of Thailand'.

SWEET AND TANGY THAI CUCUMBER SALAD



Sweet and Tangy Thai Cucumber Salad image

This salad is a refreshing side to spicy Thai food. I prefer it without hot peppers or peanuts since its major purpose for me is refreshment. It's especially quick to make if you can slice the cucumbers and onions in a food processor.
