Cucumber and Peanut Salad

Hello Foodies,

Summer is at its best in Colombo today... It is extremely warm and I just can't fall asleep. I can't switch on the AC cos my angel is having a bad cold and I don't want it to get worse. Therefore, I decided to share a recipe with you all til I fall asleep :):). 

Today I am going to share a recipe of Cucumber and Peanut Salad. The name says it all. I always end up making this salad whenever I have sudden visitors for lunch. You can me this salad within few minutes and it tastes really yummy with fried rice and sesame chicken :P. Give it a try.

Cucumber and Peanut Salad

This is how the salad looks like. Let's get started

Tomato sauce                       - 5 tbsp

Chili sauce                             - 5 tbsp

Chili paste                             - 1 tbsp (optional)

Salt                                         - 1/2 tsp

Sugar                                     - 1/2 tsp

Peanut Powder                    - 5tbsp

Method

Peel, clean and cut the cucumber into rings

Arrange it as you like in a plate

Heat a pan

Add tomato and chili sauce to the pan

Cook in medium heat

Add chili paste (optional), salt and sugar

Mix it well and remove from heat

Pour this mixture on top of the arranged cucumber
