Ingredients

• 2 medium cucumbers (1 pound/454 grams)
• 3 tablespoons of creamy peanut butter
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce or Tamari
• 2 tablespoons of rice vinegar
• 2 teaspoons of maple syrup
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced or pressed
• 1/4 cup peanuts

2. Add the peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, maple syrup, and garlic to a small bowl. Whisk the ingredients until they are smooth. Add a few drops of water if the dressing is too thick.
3. Gather the cilantro, peanuts, and chili flakes into a tight bunch and then use a sharp knife to finely chop them.
4. Add the dressing and half of the spice mix to the cucumber slices and mix well. Top the salad with the rest of the spice mix.
