SECRET CRUNCHY CUCUMBER SALAD



Secret Crunchy Cucumber Salad image

This has a secret to keeping the cucumbers crispy. My youngest daughter loves this salad and asks for it all the time. I know there are so many good versions of this, but I always come back to this one. The red bell peppers gives it that extra fresh flavor. This is so good and keeps its crunch, thanks to the secret I learned long...

Categories     Lunch, Side dish

Time 15m

Yield Serves 6 as a side dish

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 small shallot
25g enoki mushroom (available from larger supermarkets or Asian stores)
2 spring onions , thinly sliced diagonally
1 red chilli , deseeded if you like and thinly sliced
2 cucumber
25g beansprouts
2 tsp lime juice
2 tsp white wine vinegar
2 tsp vegetable oil
1 tbsp fish sauce
1 tbsp caster sugar
1 tbsp sesame seeds

Steps:

  • Thinly slice the shallot and place half in a bowl. The remainder can be fried and used as a garnish, if you like (see below). Add the mushrooms, spring onions and chilli to the bowl, then cover and leave in the fridge until ready to serve.
  • Just before serving, slice the cucumber into long, thin strips (try using a vegetable peeler to get really thin slices). Toss together with the remaining salad ingredients. Mix together all the dressing ingredients, leave to one side for 5 mins to let the sugar dissolve, then toss half the dressing through the salad. Place in a serving dish and top with the remaining dressing and fried shallots, if you like.
