Spicy Pickle Salad

THIS IS MY MONTHLY STAPLE . If you are on your time of the month (lol), or just craving something spicy, tart, sweet, and fresh— then you would love this just as much as I do . PICKLE LOVERS UNITEEEEEE ! Also, this is a taste and adjust type of recipe, so add more or less according to your tastebuds (:

What you’ll need:

• pickles

• cucumbers

• limes

• thai chili peppers

• ground Thai chili powder

• fresh garlic

• fried garlic

• sugar

• fish sauce

• tamarind powder

• pork rinds/ fried chicken skin (optional)

Instructions:

1. Start off by spiraling pickles and clean cucumbers bye placing one pickle at a time between two chopsticks . Carefully cut vertically and then flip to the other side and slice diagonally . The chopsticks will help to not slice all the way through . (This is completely optional— you can also just leave them whole).

2. Carefully skin the peels off a few limes and cut into bite sized pieces . (Or leave whole, like I did).

3. Finely mince as many Thai chili peppers as you’d like

4. Place everything into a serving bowl along with the sliced Thai chili pepper, finely pressed or grated garlic, pinch of sugar, some fish sauce, sprinkle of tamarind powder, ground Thai chili pepper powder, and fried garlic . Mix well to combine .

5. Refrigerate for extra flavor absorption for about 15 minutes and Enjoy as is, over some rice, with pork rinds/fried chicken skins.
