Description

This Thai cucumber salad with cilantro, peanuts, and a sweet and tangy rice vinegar dressing tastes just like cucumber salad from a Thai restaurant.

Ingredients

3 large cucumbers, peeled, halved lengthwise, seeded, and cut into 1/4-inch slices
1 tablespoon salt
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup rice wine vinegar
2 medium jalapeno peppers, seeded and chopped
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
1/2 cup chopped peanuts

Directions

1 Toss cucumbers with salt in a colander; leave in the sink to drain for 30 minutes. Rinse with cold water, then drain and pat dry with paper towels.
2 Whisk sugar and vinegar together in a mixing bowl until sugar has dissolved. Add cucumbers, jalapeños, and cilantro; toss to combine. Sprinkle chopped peanuts on top just before serving.
