Salmon Larb with Cucumber Salad

Considered the national dish of Laos, larb is referred to as the “good fortune salad.” Commonly made with chicken, pork, beef or fish, this endlessly adaptable recipe can be applied to any taste preferences. Serve over traditional sticky rice as shown here, or with lettuce as a wrap. You’ll want to use this sweet, spicy, zesty sauce with everything. Cucumbers are packed with beneficial antioxidants and are also hydrating—they are comprised of 96% water. They also help regulate blood sugar and are low in calories.
