Cucumber salad with fat-free dressing

Cucumber salad with fat-free dressing

By Abigail Donnelly

Serves 4

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 20 minutes

Ingredients

1 English cucumber
2 avocados
4 red salad onions, thinly sliced
100 g peanuts, toasted
1 lemon, juiced

For the fat-free Asian dressing:

½ cup rice vinegar
3 T fish sauce
1 T coconut blossom sugar or brown sugar
1 x 4 cm ginger piece, finely grated
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 red chilli, finely chopped

Method

Slice the cucumber using a julienne peeler, discarding the seeds.

Peel and thinly slice the avocado, then place on a serving platter with the cucumber. Scatter over the salad onions and peanuts and drizzle over the lemon juice.

To make the dressing, mix all the ingredients and stir until the sugar has dissolved. Drizzle over the salad and serve immediately.

Cook's note: If you don't have a julienne peeler, use a vegetable peeler to peel long strips from the cucumber, then thinly slice them using a sharp knife.
