This cucumber salad recipe is very close to what you'd get at your favorite Thai restaurant. Cucumber, cilantro, and peanuts are tossed in a sweet and tangy vinaigrette with just a hint of heat from jalapeños. This summer salad is always a hit at picnics and potlucks since it doesn't need to be refrigerated.
