CUCUMBER SALAD WITH ROASTED PEANUTS AND CHILE
Easy to assemble but far from basic, this cucumber salad delivers a riot of flavors and textures with snappy cucumbers, velvety peanut sauce, crunchy cilantro-peanut topping and zingy chile oil. The details make all the difference: First, salting the cucumbers mutes the fruit's subtly bitter notes while heightening flavor. Next, the simple peanut sauce adds richness to the cool cucumbers. (Make a large batch and store it in the fridge to drizzle over vegetables, chicken and salads.) Finally, a flurry of finely chopped peanuts, cilantro and red-pepper flakes gets dusted over the salad in layers to disperse flavor.

Steps:
- Toss cucumbers with 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt in a colander. Set aside to drain.
- Chop peanuts, cilantro and red-pepper flakes together until very fine. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, garlic and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt. Add up to 1 tablespoon water, if needed to thin mixture. Transfer salted cucumbers to the bowl with dressing and toss to coat.
- To serve, place half the cucumber salad on the plate, sprinkle with half the peanut mixture. Repeat with the remaining cucumber salad and peanut mixture. Drizzle with chile oil, if using, and serve immediately.
Tips:
- Choose fresh, crisp cucumbers: English or Persian cucumbers are ideal for this salad as they have fewer seeds and a milder flavor.
- Slice the cucumbers thinly: This will help them absorb the dressing better and make them easier to eat.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the cucumbers: This will prevent them from tearing or bruising.
- Toast the peanuts until golden brown: This will enhance their flavor and make them more crunchy.
- Use a flavorful dressing: The dressing is what really makes this salad shine, so be sure to use a combination of ingredients that you love. Some good options include fish sauce, lime juice, garlic, ginger, and chili peppers.
- Serve the salad immediately: This salad is best enjoyed fresh, so don't let it sit for too long before serving.
Conclusion:
Thai cucumber salad is a refreshing and flavorful dish that is perfect for a hot summer day. It is also a healthy and nutritious option, as it is packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. So next time you are looking for a light and healthy meal, give this Thai cucumber salad a try. You won't be disappointed!
