Never thought I’d be raving about a recipe for cucumbers, but this is so easy and so tasty! Great summer side dish! I do leave out the salt and the extra sugar. There’s plenty of sugar in the sweet chili sauce I use.
Love this!!! This was a hit, for my spice shy Fiancé. He actually had seconds. It was a super simple side dish to make. We have made it multiple times and we don’t change anything about the recipe.
Perfect sweet and spicy mixture!
Loved it!
Great base. Mandolin sliced Persian cukes (7) and red onion (not quite half) on hand. Doubled dressing ingredients except for chili paste. Used half garlic pepper, half granulated garlic. Very tasty, not too sweet or spicy. Came together quickly. Will definitely make this again.
I didn’t have the Thai sauce, but Google said that I could replace it with plum sauce mixed with Siracha, and that worked. I also added some sesame seeds. I like it more than the usual vinegar based Asian cucumber salad because it has a bit of a kick to it.
We love it!!!! It’s like our favorite sushi restaurant cucumber salad. ??
Definitely to be repeated!!!
Excellent side dish! Will make again, again. It’s definitely in my favorites tab.
Very easy and quick. Served at a party. Went over well.
refreshing and sweet
Did the exactly recipe. My daughter even Loved it and has requested it again.
This was so tasty and refreshing! I used a clove of fresh garlic in place of the granulated. I made this earlier in the day, and the cucumbers released some of their water, but this didn’t compromise the flavor, but the cukes were softer (like refrigerator pickles). Just wanted to mention that in case others prefer their cucumbers crunchier. I will make this again! Thanks for the recipe!
A good recipe that benefits from some extra add ins, like red pepper for some color.
Awesome! Only changes I made were to use garlic powder and a bit less (wanted a lighter garlic flavor), and I added some sliced red pepper (think I’ll use orange or yellow next time, and add basil or mint), and a few turns of black pepper. Quick & fun to make, and delicious, this is worth saving for the vinaigrette alone. Someone asked about white or black sesame oil, I happened to grab Phoenix Claws and Jade Trees by Kian Lam Kho today, who says black sesame oil is the more traditional Chinese, and white is un toasted, more used in Middle Eastern cooking. I have both & happened to choose the black when I made it last night, but I’m sure the white would be just fine, too. Anyway, I love this salad!
Made this recipe last night, and it was tasty ! A nice and welcomed change from the typical mayo based version. I did omit the sesame, and added a little bit more sugar and onions – everyone loved it !
7 21 17 … https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/228412/cucumber-salad-with-thai-sweet-chili-vinaigrette/ … I liked this, but thought I’d like it more. I like spicy food & this is spicy! Spicy is the main flavor though. Easy enough to add more sugar, but, as is, it’s spicy with a hint of cucumber.
I made it as posted. It was really good. I will be making it again!
Very easy to make and flavorful. The only addition I did was add chopped radishes and celery. I also added the juice of half a lime. Also, I didn’t have the sweet chili sauce so I used 1 Tablespoon of asian chilli paste. Very good
Light and refreshing with as much zip as you’d like to add. Great way to help use up summer cucumbers especially for those who are calorie conscious. Thanks for posting as it’s found a home in my “regular” box.
