This lively cucumber salad shows its Asian heritage with its rice vinegar, hot pepper, cilantro, and peanuts. It’s easy to make and a great way to use those delicious summer cucumbers when they’re at their peak.
Cookās Tips and Tricks: To take advantage of the jalapeƱo flavor without the heat, cut the stem end off and slice it into 4 pieces lengthwise. Using a small knife, cut out all the white ribs and seeds. Slice the green part into very thin strips, then cross-cut them into a mince. If the onion seems strong, put the slices into a colander and run super-cold water over them for 10 seconds. For a crafty touch, use a vegetable peeler to make stripes on the cucumber before slicing; it gives the coins a fun, strippedy look.
