thai cucumber salad

I am guilty of being one of those people who tries something at a restaurant and thinks “I could make this”. I have been this way since I was little and I think one of the first recipes I ever did this with was cucumber salad! It’s such a nostalgic memory… I even remember the bowls I used.

This was always served as a freebie at my favorite thai food place in a teensy serving size. I always wanted more so I figured I might as well learn to make it. There really isn’t much to it but it’s a magic little salad and I think it pairs well with a lot of cuisines..not just Asian food!
