Mango Cucumber Salad
- 2 small mango, diced
- 1/2 cucumber, julienned or sliced
- 1 tbsp ginger, minced

- 1/2 small red chili, leave the seeds if you want more heat
- 1-2 lime, juice only

Instructions
- Marinate the chicken: Cut the chicken into even sized chunks and mix with all the ingredients for the marinade (coconut milk through salt). Cover with foil and let it marinade at least 1 hour. Overnight is best.
- Grill the chicken: Thread the chicken chunks onto skewers. Preferably grill them (but in the oven or pan is fine) over high heat for 8-10 minutes. Turn the skewers a few times to make sure they are evenly grilled. Done when the juices run clear.
- Make the peanut sauce: Boil the water in a small saucepan, reduce to a simmer and then add the rest of the ingredients. Simmer for about a minute and stir until a smooth sauce (with peanut chunks!).
- Mango cucumber salad: Dice and slice all the ingredients as you wish or as stated in the ingredients list. I like to scrape out most of the seeds of the cucumber to make it less wet. Mix everything together and juice one or two lime over it. Garnish with a little bit of cilantro.
- Serve with steamed rice for dinner, or without as an appetizer.
