Thai Cucumber Salad

3/4 cup distilled white vinegar
1/3 cup superfine sugar
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
1/4 tsp Kosher salt
2-1/4 lbs English cucumbers washed & not peeled
1/4 cup chopped red onions
1/4 cup chopped salted roasted peanuts

In large bowl combine the vinegar, sugar, red pepper flakes and salt. Stir until the sugar is dissolved. Set aside.

Score the cucumbers with a fork and then cut them into 1/4" slices. Stack the slices and cut into quarters. Add the cucumbers and chopped red onions to the bowl of salad dressing and toss well. Cover and refrigerate for 1-4 hours, stirring occasionally.

Just before serving, add the chopped peanuts. Toss the salad once more and serve in small individual bowls.

Good with pork dishes. Can substitute rice vinegar which is a bit less sharp. Serves 10-12.
