cucumber sesame peanut salad

 Cucumbers were on sale and I wanted a new flavor.  This was very good! (I'm making it almost every week now.  It's that good.) 

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup rice vinegar
  • 1 Tbsp granulated sugar 
  • 1/2 tsp toasted sesame oil (or chili garlic sauce?)
  • 1/4 crushed red pepper 
  • 1/2 tsp salt 
  • 2 large cucumbers 
  • 3 green onions 
  • 1/4 cup chopped peanuts 

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, combine the rice vinegar, sugar, sesame oil, crushed red pepper, and salt. Set the dressing aside.
  • Peel and slice the cucumber. Place the sliced cucumbers in a large bowl.
  • Chop the peanuts into smaller pieces. Slice the green onions.
  • Add the peanuts, green onions, and dressing to the sliced cucumbers. Stir to combine. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to eat. Give the salad a brief stir before serving to redistribute the dressing and flavors.
