Ingredients
- 1 English cucumber
- ¼ small red onion thinly sliced (See Note 1)
- 2 tablespoons unseasoned rice vinegar
- 2 teaspoon fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon agave nectar (See Note 2)
- 1 red chili pepper or ¼ teaspoon crushed red chile flakes (or less to suit your tastes) - See Note 3
- ¼ cup minced cilantro
- 3 tablespoons peanuts roughly chopped
Instructions
- Cut the cucumber in half lengthwise and then in ¼-inch slices, on the diagonal. Place the cucumber slices in a serving dish, along with the red onion slices.
- In a small bowl, combine rice vinegar, fish sauce and agave nectar. Whisk to combine. Add the red chili pepper or dried chile flakes, if using.
- Just before serving, toss the cucumber and onion mixture with the dressing. Top the salad with the chopped cilantro and peanuts. Toss well and serve.
Notes
- Note 1: Feel free to use more red onion, if you prefer. I find that raw onion tends to overwhelm the other flavors, so I stick to ¼ onion.
- Note 2: Substitute with honey or sugar, if preferred. If you choose to use granulated sugar, stir the dressing until the sugar dissolves.
- Note 3: If you're sensitive to spice, leave out the chili pepper/red pepper flakes.
