I also find myself here via Kalyn’s Kitchen, i have a suggestion to boost the ‘bowl appeal’ – replacing the crushed peanuts with black sesame seeds (the kind you use for sushi)? I agree adding carrot, red pepper or especially radishes would add colour, but possibly detract from the simple cucumber concept.
I’m gonna try a good handful of chopped coriander (cilantro) or dill could be really good with the sesame.

Is there a reason why you cant leave the skin, or at least part of the skin, on the cucumber to add a little color to the dish? Would English cucumbers work?

I just popped over here on a recommendation from Kalyn’s Kitchen and can’t wait to give this a try.

I made a cucumber salad awhile back, and although the recipe is quite different, maybe throwing in a red onion instead of the green would help liven up the appearance. I know the red onion really brightened up the appearance of the one I made!

But even if it did get passed over, I would be happy to eat the left overs!!

Crisp and refreshing salad! I like the addition of the peanuts, too.
