This is a delicious light summer salad that is a little on the sweet side rather than than the tangy-vinegary side. Ingredients:
1 large cucumber |
2 tomatoes, seeded and cut into wedges |
1/4 red onion, thinly sliced |
1/4 cup rice vinegar |
2 tablespoons lime juice |
1 teaspoon white sugar, or to taste |
3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro |
3 tablespoons chopped peanuts (optional) |
Directions:
1. Peel the cucumber in stripes lengthwise with a vegetable peeler, alternating skinned stripes with peel for a decorative effect. Slice the cucumber in half lengthwise, and then thinly slice. Place the cucumber in a salad bowl with the tomato and red onion, and mix together.
2. Pour the rice vinegar and lime juice into a separate bowl, and stir in the sugar until dissolved. Pour the dressing over the salad;mix, cover, and refrigerate until chilled, at least 30 minutes. Just before serving, stir in the cilantro and sprinkle with chopped peanuts.
