lazy cooks thai cucumber salad

Hi!Though it continues to be really cold out here......eat we must..and if its healthy....all the better!I mentioned the healthy bit because there is nothing better than having maggi,made by the roadside dhabawallah when you are surrounded by snow covered mountains and your teeth are chattering.......its pretty amazing.Seriously!
Anyway to continue.........this thai cucumber salad is refreshing,its pretty healthy and quite frankly the fussy husband loves this.I must also admit that the authencity of this dish has been done away with....cause i do not use fish sauce...i do not like it...but you feel free to add it.....(1 tsp fish sauce goes into the dressing)
