Thai Cucumber Salad

Thai Cucumber Salad
The recipe calls for 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, but I like cilantro and had pulled of a bigger bunch that ended up being about 1/2 cup instead.
After peeling the cucumber, I usually use a spoon to scoop out the seeds and watery center.  I slice the cucumber lengthwise then slice the lengths into half moons.
Then it is just a matter of adding the chopped cilantro and cucumber slices to the vinegar mix.  then refrigerate.  The longer you can refrigerate, the better.  At least, that’s the way I like them.  Nice and cold and crisp.
