How to make?

Ingredients

2 European cucumbers or 4 fresh garden cucumbers or mini Persian cucumbers

1/2 cup chopped or sliced fresh mint

1/4 cup chopped peanuts

salt and pepper to taste

1/4 cup fresh lime juice

1 1/2 T Fish Sauce

1 1/2 T Stevia In the Raw Granulated Sweetener, Splenda, or sweetener of your choice, or use sugar

1 tsp. green Tabasco sauce

1 1/2 tsp. garlic puree

Directions

Cut ends off cucumbers, then partially peel, leaving thin strips of peel in stripes along the cucumber. Cut striped cucumbers in half lengthwise, then in 1/2 inch slices. Wash mint, dry well and chop coarsely or slice into chiffonade strips. Coarsely chop peanuts. Mix dressing ingredients. Combine chopped mint and cucumbers in plastic bowl, add dressing and stir a few times so cucumbers and mint are completely coated with dressing. Pour into serving bowl, season with salt and pepper if desired. Sprinkle chopped peanuts over and serve immediately. This doesn’t keep well; the taste of the mint completely overtakes the other ingredients if it’s refrigerated overnight, so make as much as will be eaten right away. .
