Sweet & Spicy Cucumber Salad


A very easy and healthy way to dress up your cucumbers, with garlic, chili, and lime.  The sweetness offsets the heat, just a wild combination of flavours. 

1. Mix together 1 tablespoon plum sauce or sweet & sour sauce with 1 tablespoon lime juice. add in 1 or more teaspoons sriracha or asian red chili paste and 2 cloves minced garlic. add 1 teaspoon soy sauce and a bit of black pepper. 

OPTIONAL: if not sweet enough, add a bit of brown sugar. if not spicy enough, more chili sauce or chili flakes. 
peanut butter can also be added, and cilantro, for that extra Thai-flavour. 

Toss with chopped cucumber and top with toasted sesame seeds.
