Crying Tiger Salsa - Oh my!
To say I am obsessed with Crying Tiger Salsa would be putting it mildly.
This salsa is what all my salsa dreams are made of - and more.
It's fiery and cool at the same time and has the perfect amount of crunch.
Pop it on steak that's been bbq'd like we did, oh, oh, ohhhhh yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
Crying Tiger Salsa
1 Lebanese cucumber - diced
1/2 punnet cherry tomatoes - diced
2 birdseye chilli - chopped
1 long green chilli - chopped
2 tbsp corriander - chopped
1 tbsp mint - chopped
4 shallots - finely diced
1 spring onion - finely sliced
Place all ingredients into bowl and set aside
Juice of 2 limes
1 tbsp fish sauce
1 tsp rice wine vinegar
2 tbsp palm sugar - chopped
1 tsp thin soy sauce
Whisk until sugar has dissolved and taste, the sauce should be slightly salty and sour, but with some underlying sweetness to balance it out.
Pour sauce over salsa and allow to macerate for 10 minutes.

Oh yes, this is so good and reminds me a little of my Asian chimichurri, but even better with the cucumber and tomato to cool things down a little! Curious, where did the name come from??
ReplyDeleteIt's originally a Thai salad, Crying Tiger Salad. Hamish turned it into a salsa though :) :) :)
DeleteI made this a few days ago - sooooo delicious and you can put it on everything!!!! (..almost!)
ReplyDeleteI bought the solid palm sugar and it didn't dissolve in my dressing though after lots and lots of whisking!
After heating up the dressing a bit it worked though... was I being too impatient with the whisking!?
Soo good though - making more this week! yummm
I'm SO glad you loved it!
DeleteHamish said you need to SHAVE the palm sugar before you whisk it or cut it up very, very fine.
I hope this helps!!
xox
Tonight!!!!
