Step 1
Slice the 2 cucumbers into thin half-moons and place in a large bowl with the 1 cup bean sprouts and 3 sliced green onions.
Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk the juice of 2 limes, 2 tbsp fish sauce, and 1 tbsp sugar until the sugar dissolves, about 1 minute.
Step 3
Pour the dressing over the vegetables and toss well. Let sit for 5 minutes so the flavors meld.
