RECIPE: Thai Cucumber Salad

Goes great with my Thai Chicken Curry...

Ingredients:
3 large cucumbers, peeled, halved lengthwise, seeded & cut into 1/4 inch slices
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup rice wine vinegar
2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and chopped small
1/4 cup fresh cilantro
1/2 cup chopped peanuts

Directions:
1. Toss the cucumbers with the salt in a colander and leave in the sink to drain for 30 minutes (no more than 30 minutes or the cucumbers will absorb too much salt. I learned this the hard way). Rinse with cold water, then drain and pat dry with paper towels.
2. Whisk together the sugar and vinegar in a mixing bowl until the sugar has dissolved. Add the cucumbers, jalapeno peppers and cilantro. Toss to combine. Sprinkle chopped peanuts on top before serving.
