Bygbaby Cooks: Back On The Wagon

Cucumber salad is one of my favorite Thai snacks! It’s light, fresh, packed with flavor, virtually fat free & best of all easy to make.

Recipe:

• 1 whole cucumber (I prefer the English Hothouse variety)
• 1 shallot
• A couple of red [bell] pepper slivers
• A few cilantro stems
• Fresh ½ lime juiced
• Couple of pinches of salt
• Couple of Pinches of sugar
• A few dashes of white vinegar
• A little water

Procedure:

• Thinly slice cucumber
• Chop pepper slivers
• Finely mince cilantro
• Coarsely mince shallot
• Mix wet & dry ingredients until dry ingredients are dissolved
• Add veggies to the wet mixture & toss
• Serve salad chilled & enjoy!

I garnished with a few sesame seeds & some fresh cracked pepper & it was off the chain.

Why am I posting this? Well because I fucked up on my diet but not bad over the past 2 weeks. I am getting back on track this week so that I can get past this 16lb weight loss. I have major work to do to make my 20lb goal by month end.

BTW: I’m an old school cook & just like my mother, I measure nothing. When it looks right/smells right/feels right, I know its good to go.
