Our New and Improved Thai Cucumber Salad Recipe
Early summer means cucumbers, and our Happy Kitchen team has a delicious cucumber side dish or snack to share. Thai Cucumber Salad is tried and true Happy Kitchen recipe, but like our White Bean and Kale Soup, we wanted to review it for the next edition of our cookbook.
The biggest change we needed to make was to the sugar. We reduced the sugar to one teaspoon, so it still adds great flavor and highlights the other ingredients, without overdoing it. If you’re already used to a low-sugar diet, you could probably cut it back even more.
Be sure to check out the many different varieties of cucumbers at our SFC Farmers’ Markets, too!
