Cucumber and a quick peanut sauce combine deliciously in this light, fresh salad that’s perfect for warmer weather.

INGREDIENTS
  • Cucumbers
  • Peanut butter
  • Rice wine vinegar
  • Soy sauce
  • Ginger
  • Garlic
  • Red pepper flakes
  • Coriander
  • Peanuts
  • Lime juice (optional)
METHOD
  1. Peel two or three cucumbers, discard the skin, then peel them into ribbons that are like noodles. Dress that “pasta” with a sauce of peanut butter thinned out with a splash of warm water and a few tablespoons of rice wine vinegar and soy sauce. Add grated ginger, minced garlic, and a pinch of red pepper flakes. Maybe some lime juice?
  2. Top the dish with a sprinkling of chopped cilantro and a handful of chopped roasted peanuts: Dinner!
