Cucumber And Coconut Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Place onion in a bowl of ice water. Let onion stand 10 minutes, then drain.
• Thinly slice cucumbers lengthwise with a handheld slicer or peeler and place in a large bowl. Add onion and coconut and gently toss to combine. Add coconut water, lime juice, sugar, and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and gently toss again to combine. Refrigerate until chilled, at least 30 minutes and up to 4 hours. Before serving, season with salt and sugar.

Steps:

• Cut cucumbers into 1/2-inch dice, and place in a medium bowl. Add peanuts, mint, lime juice, oil, salt, and crushed red-pepper flakes, and stir to combine.
• Set aside for 30 minutes to let flavors meld before serving.

Steps:

• Put the tomatoes, coconut, basil, cucumbers and chili, if using, into a bowl and toss. Just before serving, toss in the olive oil, salt, pepper and lime juice to taste.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mustard seeds and fry until they begin to pop, about 1 minute. Add to a small bowl along with the honey, ginger and lime juice, and whisk well. Set aside.
• Put the cucumbers, red onions, green onions, cashews, chile and coconut onto a platter. Pour over the dressing and garnish with more coconut.

Steps:

• When ready to serve salad, combine all of the ingredients in a bowl. Spoon onto individual plates, garnish with the cilantro leaves and serve. This tastes great with a dollop of strained yogurt.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Season the egg white. Dip the chicken in the egg, then in the coconut. Place on a lightly oiled baking sheet and bake for 20-25 mins, turning once until the chicken is cooked through.
• Meanwhile, tip the cucumber slices into a colander, sprinkle with a little salt and leave for 5 mins to drain. Pat the cucumber slices dry with kitchen paper. In a bowl, mix the onion with the sugar and vinegar, then add the cucumber and serve with the chicken.
