My love of Thai food keeps rearing its delicious head. I just can't get enough of the stuff. Doesn't matter what dish either - from curry to pad ki mao to pad prik king - bring it on.  I'm not picky. With how many Thai restaurants there are in Portland, I haven't had much of a need to learn to cook this tasty cuisine. After a few failed attempts though, I'm on a mission. Must. Master. Thai. Food.

I have made a few attempts at curries and fried rice. Although they turned out good, the flavors just weren't quite right. The husband is taking me to a Thai cooking class this fall, but fall is just so far away and I want to make Thai now! If you haven't noticed by now, patience is not a virtue I possess. I decided to try making a Thai cucumber salad after having a tasty one at a restaurant. Now this is one recipe that actually came out, not only good, but absolutely delicious!

To make this recipe vegan, try replacing the fish sauce with soy sauce. It won't be as authentic tasting, but should still be tasty. Leftovers don't keep well at all so plan to make it within an hour before serving and don't make a bigger batch than you need. We brought this to a friend's house that was making Tom kha soup (another favorite) and it was the perfect amount as a side for seven of us.

With this heat wave we're having, salads are the perfect way to cool off. If Thai cucumber salad isn't your thing, try this strawberry spinach salad or this one with delicious jalapeño lime vinaigrette. Enjoy!
