How to Make Cucumber Tomato Egg Salad (Traditional & Healthy Version)
Cucumber Tomato Egg Salad is a vibrant, refreshing dish enjoyed across Malaysia, especially as a light lunch or side at family gatherings. This salad beautifully reflects Malaysia’s multicultural cuisine, combining fresh local ingredients like timun (cucumber), tomato, and telur (egg) with a subtly tangy, mildly spicy dressing. Commonly found in both Malay and Peranakan kitchens, this healthy salad offers a harmonious blend of crisp textures and flavors that Malaysians love. Traditionally, salads in Malaysia are served as 'ulam', a selection of raw or lightly blanched vegetables, often paired with simple dressings or sambal. This version of Cucumber Tomato Egg Salad incorporates local favorites such as limau nipis (lime), daun ketumbar (coriander leaves), and a touch of cili padi for heat, making it a delicious, health-conscious choice. The dish is perfect for those seeking a nutritious, quick meal that’s full of traditional Malaysian taste without excess calories.
