Ingredients
- ½ red onion, very thinly sliced
- 2 large English cucumbers, halved lengthwise, seeded, and sliced crosswise in ¼ in slices
- 1/3 cup packed chopped fresh cilantro
- ½ cup salted, roasted peanuts
- 1 large jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced (or use 1-2 Thai chiles for more heat)
- 2 tablespoons Fustini's Persian Lime olive oil
- ¼ cup Fustini's Mango balsamic
- 2 tsp. soy sauce
- 1 minced garlic clove
Ingredients
Dressing
Directions
- Place the onions in a small bowl of cold water. Let sit for 10 minutes, then drain well and pat dry with a paper towel (this takes the bite out of the raw onions). In a large bowl, combine the drained red onions, cucumbers, cilantro, peanuts and pepper. Set aside.
- Make the dressing: combine the lime oil, balsamic vinegar, soy sauce and garlic in a small jelly jar. Place lid on and shake until well combined. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to combine. Taste and add salt if necessary.
