Cucumber, Basil, and Peanut Salad

Scott Phillips

Servings:6

Peeling the cucumbers for this dish (regardless of variety) helps them absorb more flavor. Thai basil provides a slightly sweet, peppery note and a hint of anise, but you can also use Italian basil or mint.

    Simple and fast. Especially fast when cucumbers and basil are ready in the garden. I made only 2 additions: red pepper flakes and refrigeration. I prefer the salad to be refrigerated for a few hours to allow the vinaigrette to meld with the cucumbers, basil, and peanuts. Having this cold salad in 100 degree heat is wonderful.
