Thai Cucumber Salad

3 large cucumbers, peeled, halved lengthwise, seeded, and cut into 1/4-inch slices

1 tablespoon salt

½ cup white sugar

½ cup rice wine vinegar

2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and chopped

¼ cup chopped cilantro

½ cup chopped peanuts

Toss the cucumbers with the salt in a colander, and leave in the sink to drain for 30 minutes. Rinse with cold water, then drain and pat dry with paper towels.

Whisk together the sugar and vinegar in a mixing bowl until the sugar has dissolved. Add the cucumbers, jalapeno peppers, and cilantro; toss to combine. Sprinkle chopped peanuts on top before serving.
