Notes
Is this recipe vegan? – This can be made vegetarian and vegan by omitting the fish sauce.
Is cucumber salad allergy friendly? – It is gluten free, dairy free, egg free and soy free. The salad contains nuts and fish, both which can be omited to suit your dietary requirements.
Leftovers
Unfortunately, leftover Thai cucumber salad does not keep very well, as the dressing will make the cucumber soft and unappetizing. I highly recommend eating the salad within 5 hours of preparing it.Top tips
- Cucumber salad is definitely best served immediately.
- Use English cucumbers – these have less seeds and are more pleasant to eat.
- Slice or dice the cucumbers however you want! For a more impressive look, you can make cucumber ribbons or spirals with a spiralizer.
