SWEET AND TANGY THAI CUCUMBER SALAD



Sweet and Tangy Thai Cucumber Salad image

This salad is a refreshing side to spicy Thai food. I prefer it without hot peppers or peanuts since its major purpose for me is refreshment. It's especially quick to make if you can slice the cucumbers and onions in a food processor.
