Ingredients

Servings

• 2 medium cucumbers, cut into thin slices

• 50 g unsalted peanuts, lightly roasted and crushed

• 2 Tbsp gluten-free peanut butter

• 1 tbsp gluten-free or tamari soy sauce

• 2 tbsp fresh lime juice

• 1 tbsp palm sugar (or brown sugar)

• 1 clove of garlic, finely chopped

• 1 fresh red pepper, chopped (optional for a spicy touch)

• Fresh cilantro, chopped, to garnish

Preparation

1. To make the sauce: In a bowl, combine the peanut butter, gluten-free soy sauce, lime juice, sugar and chopped garlic. Stir well until you obtain a homogeneous sauce. Add a little water if the sauce is too thick to reach the desired consistency.
2. Preparation of the cucumbers: Place the cucumber slices in a salad bowl. Add the chopped red pepper if you want a spicy touch.
3. Assemble the salad: Pour the sauce over the cucumbers and toss gently to coat each slice. Add the crushed peanuts and mix lightly.
4. Finishing and serving: Garnish the salad with chopped fresh cilantro. Serve immediately to enjoy the freshness and crunch of the cucumbers.

Note

To add a touch of sweetness, incorporate a few slices of fresh mango.

If you want a peanut-free version, replace the peanut butter with sesame butter (tahini) and the peanuts with toasted sesame seeds.
