Ingredients:
- 2 (2 ) cucumbers, peeled
- 1/4 cup (4 g) Cilantro, chopped
- 2 tablespoons (2 tablespoons) Spanish peanuts, chopped
- 1 teaspoon (1 teaspoon ) Kosher Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon (0.5 teaspoon) Sugar Or Other Sweetener Equivalent, Optional
- 1 tablespoon (1 tablespoon) Oil
- 1/4 teaspoon (0.25 teaspoon) Black Mustard Seeds, or sub cumin seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon (0.5 teaspoon) Turmeric
- 1 (1 ) Lemon, juiced
Instructions:
- Chop up the cucumbers, cilantro, and peanuts into a very fine dice.
- Place into a bowl and season with salt and sugar.
- In the smallest little heat proof bowl you have, heat the oil until it is hot and shimmering.
- Place the mustard and/or cumin seeds and allow them to sputter like popcorn about 30 seconds.
- Add in the turmeric and stir quickly.
- Pour this hot, flavored oil over the cucumbers and mix well.
- Squeeze lemon juice and mix once again and serve.
- This salad tastes great the first day but it is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING the next day!
- You can sub 1/4 cup of lemon juice instead of yogurt if you prefer. This is good if you’re planning to use it for a picnic or leave it out with no refrigeration for hours.
- Use this slap chopper for smashing up the peanuts.
- I like to use Red Spanish peanuts but if you can’t find those, just use regular roasted peanuts.
