Cucumber Peanut Salad

"Cucumber Peanut Salad is a delicious starter with fresh herbs in a light tangy dressing. It’s easy to make and is naturally vegan and gluten-free. It goes equally well with summer foods and Asian-inspired dishes. Cucumber peanut salad is inspired by a dish I had a long time ago in a thaI restaurantroasted tomato basil soup. I actually don’t remember where it was, but the combination of cucumbers, peanuts, spice, and lime stuck with me. And while this version is far from authentic, it’s very flavorful. I really enjoy the fresh cilantro and mint with the mild heat from the jalapeno pepper. And the dressing is light so it doesn’t overpower the delicate flavor of the cucumbers."
