It is one of the coldest days of the year so far, and we had a craving for something besides soup for lunch. I decided to try a Thai cucumber salad which is super easy and fast and will bring the feelings of warmer weather! Give it a try. It is simple.

Ingredients

• 2 cucumbers (skin on)

• 3 green onions

• 1/4 cup dry roasted peanuts, chopped

• 1/4 cup Thai sweet chili sauce

• 1 Tbs. white vinegar

• 1 Tbs. white sugar

• 1/4 tsp. sesame oil

• 1/4 tsp. sea salt

Directions

1. Slice the cucumbers very thin and place in a bowl. Slice the scallions and toss with the cucumber.

2. To make the dressing, whisk together in a small bowl, the sweet Thai chili sauce, vinegar, sugar, sesame oil, and sea salt.

3. On a salad plate toss the cucumbers, scallions and dressing and top with crushed peanuts.

If you have left overs refrigerate and enjoy for later. This salad was super easy and a great simple lunch. It has a very nice flavor with the hint of sesame oil and the sweet tangy flavor of Thai Chili sauce. Enjoy!
