Peanut Lime Cucumber Salad

Refreshing, light, and satisfying, this cucumber salad has a good hit of lime, and is nicely grounded by the peanuts. We had it as a side dish, but it would be excellent with cold rice noodles, in a soba noodle dish, and as a garnish for rice bowls.

Prep Time 5 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 cucumber
  • 1/2-1 fresh thai chilli, thinly minced
  • 1 lime, freshly squeezed
  • 1/2-1 tsp toasted sesame seed oil
  • 1 pinch sugar
  • 1 pinch salt, or to taste
  • 3 Tbsp dry roasted peanuts, crushed or roughly chopped

Instructions

  1. Peel cucumber in stripes (or leave unpeeled if preferred) and slice thinly. Place in a small serving dish/bowl.

  2. Mix together the lime juice, sesame oil, chilli, sugar, and salt. Pour over cucumber and toss. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Top with chopped peanuts and serve.
