Just before serving, sprinkle the chopped roasted peanuts over the salad for added crunch and nutty flavor. Serve immediately and enjoy the refreshing taste of Thailand!
For a spicier kick, leave some seeds in the jalapeños or add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the dressing.
If you don't have rice wine vinegar, white vinegar can be used as a substitute, but the flavor profile will be slightly different.
For optimal flavor, allow the salad to marinate for at least 15 minutes before serving, but no more than an hour to maintain the cucumber's crispness.
Toasted sesame seeds make a great addition for extra flavor.
