Ingredients

  • large to 2 cucumbers peeled sliced quartered (or 4 to 5 smaller cucumbers) (if using thick-skinned cucumbers)
  • tablespoons thai basil fresh chopped (see Recipe Note)
  • tablespoons seasoned rice vinegar 
  • servings salt and pepper to taste

Equipment

  • bowl

Directions

  1. Prep the cucumbers: If using thick-skinned cucumbers, peel them. Seed them if they are very seedy. There is a lot of flavor right around the seed, so if the cucumber's seeds are still small and tender, you can easily leave them in. Quarter the cucumbers lengthwise, then slice crosswise.
  2. Combine all ingredients in a bowl and toss to coat.
  3. Serve the salad: You can serve this immediately, or make ahead (up to a couple of hours) and chill. Did you enjoy this recipe?
