Ingredients:

Dressing:

• ¼ cup rice vinegar
• 3 tablespoons sugar
• ½ teaspoons salt
• 2 teaspoon EACH: toasted sesame oil AND fish sauce
• ¼ – ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes

Thai Cucumber Salad:

• 1 large hothouse (English) cucumbers, thinly sliced
• ½ red onion, thinly sliced
• ⅓ cup chopped peanuts (optional)
• 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds

Directions:

1. DRESSING: If you aren’t the biggest fan of fish sauce, start with 1 teaspoon instead of two. Combine the ingredients for the dressing in a small bowl and whisk until the sugar dissolves. Set aside.
2. THAI CUCUMBER SALAD: Combine the ingredients for the salad (except the peanuts) in a medium bowl. Pour the prepared dressing on top and stir so all the cucumbers are evenly coated in the dressing. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and allow the salad to marinate in the refrigerator for roughly 15-20 minutes or up to 1-2 hours. Add the peanuts to the top right before serving.
