Thai Coconut Cucumber Salad


Chilled crunchy summer veggies are tossed with herbs and
a spicy, tangy curry coconut dressing. Serve it for a vegan
weeknight dinner as a main or side.

SUMMER / VEGAN / GLUTEN FREE

I could eat coconut all day in the summertime. Cold,


crunchy, spicy salads like this one with a side of
coconut iced tea, followed by coconut ice cream for
dessert. I ask you, who needs so much dairy when
the coconut exists? (Ok, don’t answer that, I know
you cheese-lovers are a passionate bunch).

I’m calling this one a “Thai-inspired” dish. Jack and


I are talking about taking a trip to Thailand next
spring (!)… so until then, I bring you “Thai-ish.”

Coconut milk, lime, and red curry are flavors that I


am crazy about… and here they create a delicious
and creamy contrast to the crunchy chopped
veggies and cashews. Add some cold rice noodles
to make this a more filling “meal” salad… or omit
the tofu to make it a lighter side dish.

Ingredients

dressing:
⅓ cup coconut milk
1 teaspoon red curry paste
1 teaspoon fish sauce (omit if vegan, add
extra soy sauce at the end if necessary, to
taste)
1 teaspoon soy sauce (use tamari if gluten
free)
juice from ½ lime (reserve the other ½ lime
to squeeze juice on at the end)
1 teaspoon agave
¼-1/2 teaspoons sriracha, to taste
a few tablespoons of water, if needed, to
thin it out
for the salad:
½ cup chopped cucumber
½ cup chopped red pepper
½ cup edamame, cooked
½ cup tofu, cubed, (baked, if you prefer, see
method below)
¼ cup scallions, sliced, white and green
parts
½ cup basil leaves, chopped (thai basil if
you have it, I just had regular basil)
4 or 5 mint leaves, chopped
1 cup arugula or other salad greens
1 cup rice noodles, cooked (optional)
¼ cup cashews, toasted & chopped
(optional)
¼ cup toasted coconut flakes (optional)

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, whisk together all dressing


ingredients. Add a bit of water if necessary
to thin the dressing to your desired
consistency. Taste and adjust seasonings.
Place in the refrigerator while you chop
salad ingredients.
2. Toss all salad ingredients, except for the
cashews and coconut flakes, with the
dressing. Taste and decide how much or
little dressing you like. Adjust for
seasonings. Add the cashews and coconut
flakes on top at the end so they remain
crunchy. Squeeze more lime juice on top (or
serve with lime slices on the side) and serve.
optional, bake the tofu:
1. cut firm tofu into small cubes. Arrange on
foil on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil,
salt and pepper. Bake in a 350 degree oven
for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown on
the edges. Let cool for 15 minutes or so
before you toss into a cold salad.

My husband wanted a new salad, not our “usual ones”,


so I browsed your blog and decided to make this salad

My rice noodles were way too long, next time, I must


cut them before cooking for easier eating

And we found that the dressing needs even more zing,


so next time I’ll adjust the paste and sauce amount.
The coconut milk neutralizes the chilli very well

I’ll definitely make this again!
