Hi Sandy,  At a glance, I think that you added "coconut oil" to the recipe.  How did it taste?  I have not had it with this addition.  Thank you for adding this to one of your favorites!  I just adore this recipe and ate the entire bowl by myself (and that could easily feed 4 - 6 people).

About


I created my very own version of a Thai cucumber salad after reading and trying numerous recipes.  This one tops them all.  Tangy, sweet, hot, just the right amount of spice for a little bite, and lime!  Simply perfect!  So simple and healthy too!  I hope that you enjoy!
