This Thai Cucumber Salad is a light, refreshing side dish that is full of flavor without a ton of ingredients?

Ingredients

• 1/3 cup rice vinegar
• 2 Tablespoons sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
• 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 large cucumbers (peeled and sliced)
• 3 green onions (diced)
• 1/4 cup chopped peanuts

Procedure

1. Peel and slice your cucumbers long wise. Scoop out of the seeds and then slice the cucumbers. Place the cucumbers in a bowl.
2. In a small bowl, make your dressing. The Sesame Oil adds so much flavor, even though you just need a little bit. Mix together vinegar, sugar, oil, red pepper flakes and salt.
3. Pour the dressing over the cucumbers. Garnish with sliced green onions and peanuts.
4. Toss everything together.
5. Serve your Thai Cucumber Salad immediately or I personally like to let it refrigerate for a bit.
