Notes

Tip: If you want to prepare in advance we recommend scraping out the seeds from the cucumber which can release water over time and lead to a soggy salad.


Alternatives:

bok choy, cabbage, carrots, cucumber - red cabbage, kohlrabi, celery, radish, spinach, kale

tamari - soy sauce

toasted peanuts - toasted cashews, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds

fish sauce - vegetarian fish sauce (or use extra tamari)
