PEACH & CUCUMBER SIMPLE SALAD



Peach & Cucumber Simple Salad image

A super simple salad/side dish that works well with a hot dish, such as one with chilies, because it's cooool. I actually add the vinegar pretty much by eye without measuring. I don't add salt, but feel free to do so. It's great if you can let it sit a bit before serving so the flavors have a chance to meld, but it also works as a side dish to throw together at the last minute.

Chineasy Cucumber Salad Recipe

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon Chinkiang vinegar
1 teaspoon Sichuan chili oil
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon turbinado sugar
1/4 teaspoon Kosher salt
3 Persian or Kirby cucumbers or 1 English cucumber
1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds
2 tablespoons roasted unsalted peanuts, crushed
2 tablespoons cilantro leaves

Steps:

  • Whisk together the vinegar, chili oil, sesame oil, sugar, and salt in a medium bowl until the sugar dissolves. Set the dressing aside.
  • Halve the cucumbers lengthwise. (If using English cucumbers, remove the seeds with a small spoon and discard.) Set them cut-side down on a cutting board and lightly smash them: Give them a couple angry thwaps with the side of a cleaver (or a large chef's knife) until the cucumbers crack in a few places. (For less drama, just press down on them with the side of the knife.) Cut the abused cucumbers crosswise into 3/4-inch-thick half-moons.
  • Toss the cucumbers in the dressing, portion them out onto plates, and top each serving with sesame seeds, peanuts, and cilantro.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, choose ripe, in-season peaches and cucumbers.
  • If you don't have fresh herbs, you can use 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme or basil instead of the fresh herbs.
  • If you like a little bit of spice, you can add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the dressing.
  • This salad is also delicious with grilled or roasted chicken or fish.
  • For a vegan version of this salad, omit the feta cheese and use a plant-based dressing.

With its sweet peaches, crisp cucumbers, and tangy dressing, this salad is sure to be a hit at your next potluck or picnic.
