Ingredients

1 English cucumber
½ small red onion cut into half-moon slices
1 ½ tablespoons fish sauce
1 ½ tablespoons rice vinegar
1 tablespoon sugar
1 red chili or ½ teaspoon crushed red chile flakes (or less to suit your tastes)
¼ cup roughly chopped fresh cilantro
3 tablespoons chopped peanuts

Instructions

Peel 1-inch strips, alternating with unpeeled strips, on the English cucumber. Cut the cucumber in half lengthwise and then in ¼-inch slices, on the diagonal. Place the cucumber slices in a serving dish, along with the red onion slices.
In a small bowl, combine fish sauce, rice vinegar, and sugar. Stir well until the sugar is dissolved. Add the red chili or dried chile flakes.
Just before serving, toss the cucumber and onion mixture with the dressing. Top the salad with the chopped cilantro and crushed peanuts. Toss well and serve.
