• 1/2 red onion, very thinly sliced
• 2 English cucumbers
• 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1/2 cup salted peanuts
• 1 large jalapeño pepper, seeded and minced

DRESSING

• 1/4 cup lime juice (2-3 limes, if fresh)
• 2 Tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 1/2 Tablespoons fish sauce (buy it on Amazon)
• 2 Tablespoons sugar

Place the onions in a small bowl of cold water. Let sit for ten minutes, then drain well and pat dry with a paper towel. While the onions are in the water, cut the cucumbers in half lengthwise. Remove the seeds and pulp from the center and cut each in half lengthwise again. Cut each piece into 1/4″ thick slices.

To make the dressing, whisk the lime juice, oil, fish sauce, sugar, and garlic together in a large bowl. Add the drained red onions, cucumbers, cilantro, peanuts and jalapeño pepper to the dressing. Taste and add salt if necessary.
