Cut ends off the cucumbers, and peel off some strips if the peel seems thick. To get individual ribbon, cut a slit lengthwise, going about half-way through the cucumber. Then use a Spiralizer, Mandoline Slicer or other method to slice the cucumber into round ribbons. Put cucumbers between a double layer of paper towels and press down to press out the liquid and get it absorbed into the towel. Cut off ends of the mini-peppers and scoop out the seeds; then slice into thin slices. Slice the radishes. Thinly slice the green onions. Coarsely chop the peanuts . Whisk together the or sweetener of your choice, fresh lime juice, fish sauce , Chili Garlic Sauce, and a little salt to make the dressing. Put cucumbers, peppers, radishes, and green onions into a medium-sized bowl. Add the dressing, toss all ingredients together. Serve the salad, sprinkled with peanuts if desired. This salad is best when it’s tossed with the dressing right before serving. Enjoy!.
