Slada Timun (Cucumber Salad)Â is a simple but yummy cucumber salad with peanut butter and eggs. Sounds questionable, but it’s honestly a winner!Ingredients:
- 1 -Â 3 cucumbers
- 1 – 2 hard boiled eggs
- 1 tsp salt
- asam (tamarind)
- 3 tbsps ground peanuts (or crunchy peanut butter)
- 2 tsps brown sugar
- lettuce leaves (optional – for serving)
Method:
- Score the cucumbers with the back of a fork and slice (This gives a fluted effect)
- Chop the egg whites, and mix with the cucumber
- To make the dressing, mix the egg yolks with the peanut, sugar, salt and asam.
- Just before serving, add the dressing and stir well.
- If not moist enough, add a little water
- Serve on lettuce leaves
It is important that this dressing should not be added until the last moment, otherwise the liquid from the cucumber will tend to make it soggy.
