The refrigerator light goes on...
When I was a kid in Atlanta my mom used to make cucumbers and onions with white vinegar, a touch of salt and pepper and just enough sugar to take the bite off. The flavors are the same – Southeast America, Southeast Asia – just subtle differences.
Rice Vinegar
Rice vinegar is made from fermented rice. It's a staple in Asian cooking but I like to use it in other types of recipes. Because it is less acidic than most vinegars and has a soft flavor it is a great choice for recipes where you don't want as bright a vinegar flavor.
Combine the rice vinegar, lime zest, Tabasco, Splenda, red onion, cucumber slices and cilantro leaves in a glass or stainless steel bowl.
You can add the peanuts now and let them marinate. They will be slightly chewy, but I prefer to sprinkle them over the top of the salad when I am serving.
Marinate at least 2 hours.
