There is no salt added to this salad. Chutatip says that's to balance the saltiness of the satay and peanut sauce. This goes very well with her Chicken Satay. I doubled her recipe as far as the cucumbers, but kept the single batch of dressing since there's plenty to marinate them in. They didn't have any red chiles where I shop so I had to use a green serrano chile. I think this would very pretty with the contrasting red chile slices.
