Thai Cucumber Salad
This tasty cucumber salad is so simple to put together, but its a wonderful accompaniment to any spicy, Asian dishes that you like to make at home. It works perfectly with my Thai Red Curry Chicken.
This is a light, nutritious recipe that you could even eat by itself as a lunch time snack. To make it a little more filling you might consider sprinkling some nuts on top.
One of the most appealing things about this dish is that it only takes a few minutes to make. Anything that means less time in the kitchen has to be a welcome bonus!
The recipe calls for a little vinegar, but we can use Apple Cider Vinegar instead of the regular white vinegar that’s on the foods to avoid list. And the sweetness comes from a small amount of stevia rather than added sugar. You can make and refrigerate this salad a couple of hours before your meal, and it will still taste fresh and delicious.
- 1 cucumber, thinly sliced or spiral cut into wide ribbons
- ¼ red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar
- ½ tsp. stevia powder
- ¼ tsp. salt
- ¼ tsp. white pepper
- Red pepper flakes to taste
- Thinly slice cucumber and red onion, place in a medium bowl, set aside.
- In a small bowl, combine apple cider vinegar, stevia powder, salt and white pepper, whisk until stevia and salt have dissolved.
- Pour vinegar mixture over cucumber and red onion slices, stir vegetables to evenly coat. Sprinkle salad with red pepper flakes. Serve at once or refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours before serving.

Could I replace the apple cider vinegar with coconut vinegar?
Thank you!
Yes, that should work!
I’m a fan of cucumber and vinegar, this was great!
Such a great salad! I just made it a half hour ago.
Delicious!
Wow!! This salad is so delicious. I love cucumbers and onions…. put them together with that tasty dressing and it’s instant perfection. Thanks a lot for this recipe and all the others!
What a delicious combination of flavours. Thank you.
Excellent. Precisely what commercial restaurants should be serving to promote health and more healthy immune strengthening food sources, rather than the fast cold food outlets that give out toys to youngsters in order to attract them to high caloric fat laden unhealthy diets for the benefits of the corporate and shareholders bottom line. Capitalism at its best. Want to live a long life, eat healthy and wisely.
