Servings: 2
Ingredients:
1 Cucumber
½ Salt
30 g Peanuts
15 g Fresh coriander
a pinch of Chilli flakes
1 tbsp Peanut butter
2 tsp Soy sauce
3 tsp Apple cider vinegar
1 Garlic clove (grated)
1 tsp Light brown sugar
1 tsp sriracha
Recipe:
- Cut the cucumber lengthwise, then cut crosswise into 1 cm thick pieces. Place in a colander and toss with ½ tsp salt. Set aside to drain.
- Add peanuts, chilli flakes and coriander to a food processor. Pulse blend until very fine. Set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, garlic, sriracha and sugar. If needed add 1 tablespoon of water to thin the dressing. The cucumber will still release some water so avoid making the dressing too thin.
- Transfer the drained cucumbers to the bowl with dressing and toss to coat.
- To serve, place half the cucumber salad on the serving plate, sprinkle with half the peanut mixture, and repeat with the remaining cucumber salad and peanut mixture. Enjoy!
