Cucumber Relish

Sweet, sour and vibrant, this relish is classically served with red curry spiced fried fish cakes or golden chicken satay. Some Thais like to add chopped cilantro. Others prefer a sprinkling of chopped roasted peanuts. This cooling dish is a great stand-alone snack, but is an especially refreshing accompaniment to grilled fish or shrimp. Add carrots, tomatoes, or cabbage to make it a more substantial side salad.
