Ingredients

Servings

• 2 medium cucumbers, cut into thin slices

• 50g of unsalted, lightly roasted and crushed peanuts

• 2 Tbsp gluten-free peanut butter

• 1 tbsp gluten-free or tamari soy sauce

• 2 tablespoons of fresh lime juice

• 1 tbsp of palm sugar (or brown sugar)

• 1 clove of garlic, finely chopped

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

• Fresh coriander, chopped, for garnish

Preparation

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

Note

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

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