Cucumber Salad with Mint and Salted Peanuts
Ingredients
- 3 persian cucumbers
- 1/4 cup dry roasted lightly salted peanuts, roughly chopped

- 1 clove garlic, grated
- 2 tbsp. dark brown sugar
- 1 tbsp. fish sauce
- 1 tbsp. low sodium soy sauce or tamari

Begin by making the dressing. Combine all of the ingredients in a small bowl and grate in the garlic using a microplane grater. Stir to combine. Set aside.
Thinly slice the cucumbers on a mandoline about 1/8-inch thick. Arrange on a large platter or plate.
10 minutes before serving, pour the dressing over the cucumbers, add the mint leaves and peanuts. Serve.
