Thai Cucumber Salad
I participated in Mom Blog Tour Winter Fancy Food Show (#MomBlogTourFF) on behalf of Wendy’s Bloggers. I received Saffron Road products to facilitate my review, but my opinions and the recipe are my own.
You may notice that when it comes to world cuisines, I don’t usually share many. In the last few months or so, I have really trying to change that. It started with a new found love of Thai food! This all started after I met Saffron Road at the Winter Fancy Food Show this past January.
I love the convenience that the Saffron Road Frozen Entrees offer me. They’ve become my new lunchtime staple. This Thai Cucumber Salad was the perfect addition to pair with the Saffron Road Chicken Pad Thai.
This is such an easy recipe to create to go along with quick meals. The Sesame Oil adds so much flavor, even though you just need a little bit. Of course, if you find yourself without peanuts, you can opt to leave them out.
