Thai Cucumber Salad with Peanuts, Labor Day Desserts and More....


I love English cucumbers, those long, slender cukes with tender skin and tiny seeds. They're a little pricier than garden variety cukes, but you can usually find them on sale in packs of three. I always throw a package in my cart -- ever the optimist at the supermarket -- but then when I get home, I find myself staring into the fridge, wondering what the heck I'm going to do with all those cucumbers. This light and fresh salad is one of my go-tos. The dressing is tangy, salty and sweet; and the juice from the cucumbers seeps into the dressing, giving it a delicious cucumber flavor. Trust, me, you'll be tempted to drink it. There are a few ways to eat this salad. For lunch, it's satisfying all on its own, thanks to a handful of protein-rich peanuts. For dinner, you can serve it with my Grilled Thai Curry Chicken or Honey Lime Sriracha Chicken, or as a side dish to jazz up any simply grilled meat or fish dish.
