Indonesian Cucumber Salad

"A refreshing salad with a kick, how much of the dressing ingredients you want to add does not just depend on your taste buds but also on the size of the cucumbers."

  1. Yummy, yummy! Nice and spicy. I used brown sugar substitute to keep the sugar down and I thought I still had some chili paste but...no!.. so I used sriracha chili sauce. Now I want to try it with the original ingredient to see which has the best heat and flavor. Another keeper. I loved that it didn't create a bunch of liquid. Made in honor of Pets. She will be greatly missed.
     
  2. We tried this for something different then our usual cucumber salad. this is really good, but just know that it gets spicier in the fridge. DH was loving it. thank you for sharing with us.
     
  3. Just finished eating a tub of this - LOL! I made mine really spicy to be different from other cucumber recipes. I added the sambol oleek and some crushed red pepper. I didn't have brown sugar so I used turbinado sugar instead. Also, I had two different recipes I was using and one called for lime juice and the other for vinegar but I didn't have the limes around at the moment so went with the vinegar. I had some small peppers so diced those which added beautiful color. Ate most of it immediately but I think I liked it better today after it had marinated a few days. Thanks for posting, I will try this with the lime as well.
     
  4. Not an authentic Indonesian food but it's tasty and easy to made :)
     
  5. This is very yummy and spicy. I didn't have green onion so I used red onion. I'm sure it's even better with green onion. I didn't use salt and pepper. Thanks Pets'R'us :) Made for I recommend tag game

  2. Wow! This was great! I had an appy party and served this on the side to go with lots of other dishes. Perfect!I Couldn't find sambal oelek so used an Asian chili paste instead. A little of that went a long way! Although I like spice, the sauce was pretty spicy. I served it to 6 people and every single one rated this a 5-star! Thanks Pets for another winner. Made for Cook-a-thon for Pets'R'us.
     
  3. Light, crisp, and fresh tasting. Divine! Unfortunately I didn't have any green onions ... I don't really like the taste anyway. But nothing was missing from the flavour - at least not for DH and me. I added a touch more Oelek sauce and substituted fish sauce for the salt. I also added a little bit more lime. Overall so delicious. I will be sure to make this again. Thank you for the wonderful recipe.

Hello, my name is Bonnie and I am a very beautiful cat as you can see if you look at the picture at the top of this page.... What??.. I am supposed to talk about you??? But it says here: About Me!! Well all right then ...... My mom is Dutch and has moved to England in October 2007, after living 15 years in the Netherlands with my English dad. They don’t have any human children and “created” their own family, which means I have to share them with Hannah, she is a 6 years old tortie cat, Abby the dog, she is a 9 year old Beagle, and a one year old black Miniature Pincher named Poppy, I refuse to tell you my age but I am a georgious lilac British Shorthair cat!! It is obvious she adores pets just by looking at her name she uses on Zaar (many on Zaar call her Pets or Petsie Poo), her name in real life is Annelies and that is a common Dutch name. My mom always liked to cook, but since she joined Zaar it got out of control, and it doesn’t help that she is disorganized. Printed recipes everywhere in the house, the recipe binders have got bigger and just between you and me, her hips too!!! I have lived in Holland all of my life until now, but they lived in several different countries/places:- desert and coastal Oman, up North and West in Holland, Vancouver-Canada, Aberdeen- Scotland and in Norway they lived in Bergen and Oslo. We have all moved together to England, as you can see I’ve already learnt the language! I heard her say to Dad that this is the last time she moved to another country...she's had it with moving from one place to another! ( its her age...she's getting grumpy) Mom is 55 years old but I always hear her say that the date of her birthday does not mean that much to her, the date of her cancer anniversary is more important, because so far she is a survivor. Besides cooking she has other interests too, crafts, gardening and soap making. She likes Zaar and is one of the hosts on the German-Benelux Forum here on RecipeZaar. She would like to thank everybody who tries and comments on the recipes she has posted on Recipezaar, your feedback is very much appreciated. <img src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y227/vjuhl/MEPcookathon.jpg"> <img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/berriesblinkie.gif" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com"> <img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/FFF/completedbanner.gif"> <img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/Animation1.gif" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com"> <img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/4treasurehunt.gif"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/purplechefhat.gif" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/chef3.jpg" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com"><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/beartag_1_1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"></a><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/adopted_1_1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"></a>
