Ingredients

2 large cucumbers, thinly sliced

1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion

1/2 cup shredded carrots

1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

1/4 cup roasted peanuts, chopped

2 tablespoons rice vinegar

1 tablespoon soy sauce (low sodium)

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup

1 teaspoon minced garlic

1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger

1/2 teaspoon red chili flakes (adjust to taste)

Salt, to taste

Instructions

Prepare the Vegetables: In a large bowl, combine the thinly sliced cucumbers, red onion, shredded carrots, and chopped cilantro.

    Make the Dressing: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the rice vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, honey (or maple syrup), minced garlic, grated ginger, red chili flakes, and a pinch of salt. Adjust the seasoning according to your taste.

      Combine Everything: Pour the dressing over the vegetable mix and toss gently to ensure everything is well coated.

        Let it Marinate: Allow the salad to sit for at least 15 minutes at room temperature, or in the refrigerator for up to an hour. This will intensify the flavors.

          Serve and Garnish: Just before serving, sprinkle the chopped peanuts on top for added crunch and flavor. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
