A refreshing and flavorful salad with a zesty twist, perfect for any occasion.
Slice the cucumbers thinly and place them in a mixing bowl.
Use a mandoline slicer for even and thin slices.
Thinly slice the red onion and chili pepper, then add them to the bowl with the cucumbers.
Adjust the amount of chili to your preferred spice level.
In a small saucepan, combine the rice vinegar, sugar, water, and salt. Heat gently until the sugar dissolves, then let it cool.
Stir continuously to ensure the sugar dissolves evenly.
Pour the cooled dressing over the cucumber mixture and toss to combine.
Let the salad sit for a few minutes to absorb the flavors.
Garnish with fresh cilantro and crushed peanuts before serving.
Add the toppings just before serving to maintain their freshness.
