This spicy cucumber salad is delicious with Asian food or an Indian curry. Fresh cucumber, spicy pepper, and nutty cashew nuts. Delicious and fresh.
My husband is a photographer and got his's own studio, behind our house. On Thursdays, the studio is open to the public. So the dinner has to be quick and easy. No garlic of course (because of the customers).
Today I've planned Bami Goreng. A quick dish with noodles and meat, but in my opinion, there could be more vegetables on my table to go with that. The children are not very easy when I mention the word salad, but love a bowl with cucumber (which of course is all right too).
