Spicy Cucumber and Watermelon Salad | That Sounds So Good

[@kylieshaye6562]

It's hilarious to me how cosmo is just Carla in a little man's body. They're gems truly.

[@rossjones1530]

I spent _ages_ trying to find a suitable replacement for the peanuts (autism, don’t like dry crunch mixing with wet crunch, or warm with cold), and I’ve found it: cooked and cooled edamame! Still have that slightly fatty texture that vaguely alludes to the peanuts, plus soybeans play great with the other Asian flavours. You can even still salt/sugar/lime them with a little warm (not hot) peanut oil! ❤

[@littlesweetrocky]

Carla and Cosmo really do make my day better everytime i see a video of them

[@bigjohnbriggs]

ตำแตงกวา -- thai cucumber salad -- is one of my favorite things. Something my favorite vendor adds is tamarind paste and I love the savory/sour it adds to the mix.

[@notmyname327]

This sounds delicious! I'm in the Southern Hemisphere so it's completely off season but I can't wait to try it once summer is here. Also, I think an avocado would be amazing contrast for the crunchiness of the cucumber / watermelon / peanuts combo

[@porumi]

seeing carla unabashedly use msg makes me so happy

[@af2313]

I have never wanted a watermelon salad until now. We’re heading into summer in the southern hemisphere, I’m putting this recipe in my back pocket and I’ll bring it out once the watermelons are at the market!

[@andrewmccrea37]

Awesome cameo from Cosmo! 🤣

[@joyfulgirl40018]

I made this recipe last summer and I was BLOWN AWAY by how good it was. I've been dreaming about making again all winter long, and now it's April and I'm back here because I *cannot* wait any longer.

[@MsAsb-zx4sr]

Love MSG. I wish it didn’t have such a bad wrap. It adds such delicious flavor to any and everything.

[@jechithought]

Love the uptick in more Cosmo! Giving people what they want!

[@thormaster06]

Mediterranean in me feels there should be some Feta cheese in that salad!! I'm going to spin it!! P.S.: I spun it! Left out fish sauce and put Feta in! Amazing!!

[@JoJo4707]

I'm due with my child in September and all I want is watermelon! Perfect timing for this in this oppressive Texas summer!

[@kimsanders7004]

COSMO! DEEZ NUTZ! CHILLIE CORIGAN! This is Carla's best video. This is the pick me up needed after work. And the salad sounds so good. On the way to buy a watermelon now.

[@alexanderpaone7631]

My favorite part of Carla's videos are when she tastes the dish at the end and throws out ALL the descriptors 😂 11:39

[@amarbot...]

I like to eat watermelon and cucumber with lemon, salt and chili powder. I never considered having both fruits together! This could work!

[@tf7831]

Cronch, sweet, spicy, savory. I have all the things to make this, so I’m doing it now AND just finally ordered the cookbook! Love our Auntie Chef 🥰 YUM!

[@johnnycashm0ney307]

I see a very bright future for Cosmo. Seems like a very charming and sweet kid.

[@orchidpanda2253]

I saw. I made. I devoured. Amazing recipe! (I also crumbled some feta as garnish - yum!) You had me at "put a finger down" and Cosmo's commercial. Hilarious!

[@christiandwalker]

Two things. First thing. This looks amazing! my friends and I were just talking about what is a good meal during a very hot day. Now we know. Second thing. I love your nails!

[@sarahwatts7152]

Her nails give me a little "medieval manuscript" vibe

[@MNms-ny1gl]

I love watermelon sprinkled with Tajin--the salty, limey, chile spice. In fact, I love it on any cold sweet melon or fruit!

[@damienjohn]

oh that DOES sound good, definitely giving this a try on a hot day 🫠

[@noahcohen4890]

haha please tell me this is said in the tone of the waitress from "Waiting"

[@girltriesgames]

I just made this! Really yummy and refreshing and kinda reminds me of a sweet ceviche! I ate almost the whole thing by myself!

[@enfield9]

i just made this for dinner tonight (even though it's winter in australia haha) and i absolutely loved it. I put tofu in to have some sort of protein. i am asian so i drenched it in fish sauce. it was delicious thank you carla!!

[@CarlaLalliMusic123]

Quench, Quenching, CRONCH!

[@sophalyon4322]

Looks like this would be great with mint or another fresh herb!

[@bripruett]

Carla cameo on Hulu's Old Man - She's FAMOUS!!! Delightful to see one of my KZbin favs amid the drama!

[@annabel_182]

every time cosmo is in carla's videos, i'm amazed at how much he's grown!

[@khaledk8606]

You’re amazing Carla. Your videos are so nice and relaxing. Thank you !

[@auchhaus]

Carla - Thanks for being my inspo during the pandemic. I've watched so many of your vids! I appreciate all you do!

[@_FearNoEvil]

Very appealing ingredients and flavor combinations. I want to make this sometime this summer.

[@sofiaeverton]

i am screaming at Cosmo's participation

[@agithehun]

will absolutely make it. thank you!

[@CoinsGalleryz]

Cucumber and watermelon salad is very good

[@efoley5909]

Had the biggest watermelon and was looking for ways to use it up, this recipe is such a WIN! Bought the cookbook, then I made this two days consecutively and there were no leftovers either day. Now I need to go buy more watermelon/cucumbers so I can do it all over again. The juice left in the bowl at the end, mmmmm, yum, add vodka? Seems like he right thing to do...

[@oluwafunmilayojohn3853]

They are gems truly

[@kalu9781]

Thank you Carla! Love how you share the delight of cooking. Just made this spicy salad and it is delicious. Just added this my collections of Super Delicious Winner Recipes.

[@OSheaDean]

I've always had cucumber & watermelon w/ fetta & dill, but def. making those peanuts! Thank you 😊

[@josebienvenidobalitian4574]

You're kidding Carla! Def will do it this weekend! yummmmm!

[@Sleeperhit11]

this is truly an exciting recipe. I can't wait to make this

[@davidcunningham6525]

This was really good. The spice is important, but she's a little more heat tolerant than I am. The peanuts are wonderful and should be made even if you don't try the salad.

[@robertschrader]

OMG, I was literally dreaming about a watermelon salad yesterday.

[@PtolemyXVII]

This looks great- I think though I would leave out the MSG and granulated sugar though abad would rater cube the cucumbers 🥒! Great combo of flavours will try this for sure!

[@veronicao1259]

Hi, from Phoenix 🌞🌵 just made this and it was delicious! Thank you!

[@azilbean]

That looks amazing!

[@ChefVicCuisine]

Wow! New sub here! I recently made Watermelon Canapes on my page too and *your dish looks amazing!* Hope to stay connected! 😀

[@lollypop9900]

Mouth-watering! I'm eating this at my kitchen counter right now 🤤

[@theouthousepoet]

I wasn't paying attention and a dollop of drool fell out of my mouth. Thanks, Carla

[@n.sykes.pharmd]

Cosmo's social media career is off to a great start

[@moshegramovsky]

This is going straight on the menu at home. I look forward to your recipes and fantastic videos!

[@Watchamocalit]

Quenched and crunched XD always such great quotes

[@manueltinoco97]

I made this it was amazing my mom brother and I devoured the whole bowl it was so good.

[@broadwaybound1010]

0:52 well cosmo, i do want to be quenched, so i suppose I’ll have to smash that like and subscribe.

[@elyssemelo4473]

Looks incredible! Is there something I could replace the fish sauce with? Liquid Aminos?

[@bellaboopixi]

I don't like watermelon and cucumber gives me heartburn so I'm just here for the vibes 😂 love Carla

[@johannebeerbaum1546]

Love you Carla!

[@xantonx21]

That sounds so gourd!

[@ghostgirl6970]

I do love a good Cosmo cameo.

[@valarya]

LOVE this family lol

[@ayenayaa3958]

I made this and it’s my new addiction 😍

[@maralb963]

Can’t wait to try this!

[@sassounhagopian4144]

I got all 5 fingers down!! YIPPEEEEEEEEE!! Carla rules!!!

[@christinabrown5488]

Love your videos!

[@m_a_k_e_n_n_a]

I do really love that "quench" just sounds like "crunch" being said by a little kid who can't pronounce their r's yet

[@OneOlive1]

This looks so refreshing!

[@sallieannwestbrook9769]

It seems so many chefs learn valuable tidbits from their friend Emile

[@Rebecca-dm5ul]

Oooh first thought wasabi peas.

[@josuearauz2366]

Very good

[@iliekmegapie]

Not "deez nuts" lmaooo. Give your editor a raise, miss Carla

[@olycalderon3396]

Exelente

[@connorgorsira]

queen of adjectives

[@trinianni]

I love you andddd I love your editor!

[@cartercostello9327]

literally liked and subscribed during the like and subscribe suggestion... lol...cute

[@ayoolaadekunle8701]

Cool

[@ahmedbabalola7308]

That should taste nice👍👍👍

[@wadeprice8998]

Whats a solid substitute for the watermelon if we want to make this during the winter and fall??

[@giftadisa4170]

So nice

[@kellahanna-wayne4191]

the day after I watched this video, my boyfriend got a text saying our neighbor had a massive amount of lemon cucumbers and did we want any? Gonna make a watermelon cucumber salad! Update: I made it and WOW so good! I've never had smashed cucumber salad before but a lot of my favorite food youtubers make them regularly so I was curious. After a lifetime of eating watery, flavorless cucumbers, I was shocked by how much flavor that first bite had. Such complexity to the flavor! I left out the chilis because I have no spice tolerance but I can tell it would be even better if it was spicy. My boyfriend served himself a bowl and had demolished it in a couple minutes.

[@Ekenaa]

it's the quenchiest

[@maireisenegger1]

Cosmo is just 10/10

[@louiscisse]

This!!! This Is the one

[@jumokeesther3743]

yummy

[@agyakubemsenbenson9796]

Steadily fine

[@ruthbrasana8656]

Nice

[@Lalscell90]

Yes!!!! We need seeds. I feel the same way. What have they done to this fruit that now it's unable to reproduce?!?!?

[@HobbyDad_dy]

Hey Carla! Would olive oil be too strongly flavored for this dish? Also, it might be a weird suggestions, but do you think corn nuts would work as a substitute for the peanuts? Thank you!

[@DuyNguyen-yx2vd]

Corn Nuts!! That's such a good idea. My cousin is allergic to peanuts, so I was wondering what I could use instead.

[@CarlaLalliMusic123]

Both excellent ideas

[@adamarellano8013]

damn this looks soooo good

[@mkillips11]

Is this something that would benefit from being made a day ahead and kept in the fridge, or would it become overly intense in flavor?

[@callmemolls3646]

I came to the comments looking for an answer to this- any chance you tried it?

[@lexanimus]

"get quenched" - cosmo

[@miriamajigboye7473]

Tasty

[@misterjib]

just made this. ate some. then ate some more.

[@izzyschoen13]

Your son is ADORABLE!!!

[@J.5.M.]

"Deez nuts" 7:20 LMAOOO

[@unit--ns8jh]

Nah, spitting seeds sucks Carla - seedless produce FTW! Great and refreshing salad recipe tho (until like 11:00 I was all "whis needs some fish sauce" and you set me straight as always :) )

[@yunkpatrol2345]

Seedless produce are GMO.

[@truthfinder6246]

Aaaaahkay.... I have these ingredients in my frig minus peanuts and MSG but I don't touch the stuff. This is gonna be fantastic and Cosmo is killa cuuuuute!

[@oliviaantonette5647]

I'm here for Carla's nails 💅

[@bennyfrankly2359]

Nice looking dear

[@bsignora6099]

Where did you get that beautiful pot?

[@Witness27]

Cosmo letsss goooooooo

[@marym434]

It does sound good. I'm just not sure that is the best shaped bowl for an aerial shot.

[@jidodoh]

Nice video
