Kerabu Mangga Timun {Mango Cucumber Salad} w/ Kaffir Lime Dressing
November 15, 2015
To pair with my Malaysian Curry Laska, I decided to make a light salad. The RawSpiceBar box also had a Kaffir Lime spice blend, which I though would be perfect for a cucumber salad. I ended up making a dressing out of the spice blend and tossing it with shaved mango and cucumber.
This salad was fresh, yet had a spiced flavor from the turmeric in the spice blend. I loved the addition of fresh basil, but you could also pair it with cilantro. If you are not a fan of turmeric, you can always just toss the salad and a nice rice vinegar dressing.
