So simple and just one of those fantastic dishes!
I think I’ve seen something similar recently, I’m wondering where…. 😉
I love the addition of chili, I guess that is the difference between the German and the Filipino version…

I LOVE LOVE LOVE cucumber salads like this. Delicious!
★★★★★
I eat cucumbers every single day. really, every day. I might have to shake things up with this recipe! Thanks!
★★★★★
I can imagine this going very well with a schnitzel! Mmmm
I make this most of the time though some variances in the ingredients added inside. Its great as a side dish for our white rice.
★★★★★
I do a really plain version of this–just the cucumbers, vinegar, sugar, salt and pepper–and its simplicity is such a welcome complement to heavy or spicy or oily foods, but I agree that a little pizzazz would be a great plus as well, so I may just put in those chiles next time!

Ooo, I’ve never had this but definitely want to try it. I love cucumbers but unfortunately my husband hates them (completely weird I know). I’m going to make this next time I head up to my family’s. Do you soften the chilies in water first or just use them dried?
★★★★★
The vinegar would soften it when you mix it together on step 1
Perfect – can´t wait for summer and a garden full of cucumbers!
I love pickles like this because as you say, it really helps to cut through the richness of fatty (read: yummy) food.

instead of eating junkfood, this would be more delicious and healthy..

Dear Raymund,
I love this in summer and my tendency is to add more fresh chillies to make it spicy and sour 🙂

Wonder if this is very similar to Thai cucumber salad – I just had it a few days ago… seems similar but never had seen Thai cucumber salad recipe so I can’t tell. I love that salad, and I bet I can eat a lot of this salad. Will give this a try very soon!

I really like the amount of vinegar and the dried chillies in this recipe. I’ll bet hot, fresh chillies would be great too. Thanks for this.
