Serves 6 (1 serving = 1 cup)
Prep time: 15 minutes
Total time: 45 minutes

Description

This sweet and tangy salad of cucumber, scallions and pepper is packed with vibrant Thai flavors and a bit of extra crunch from dry-roasted peanuts. If possible, use a red jalapeño (or chile) to brighten the salad with a few specks of red. Cut the heat by removing the seeds before chopping.

Directions

  1. Stir lime juice, oil, tamari (or soy sauce), brown sugar, jalapeño (or chile) and scallion together in a large bowl. Add cucumbers, cilantro and peanuts and stir to coat. Let stand for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, to marinate the cucumbers.

Tips

  • Tip: People with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity should use soy sauces that are labeled "gluten-free," as soy sauce may contain wheat or other gluten-containing sweeteners and flavors.
  • To make ahead: Transfer the salad to an airtight container, refrigerate for up to 1 day.
