Ingredients

1 teaspoon peanut oil
1/3 cup raw peanuts
1 clove garlic (minced)
½ pound cucumber
1/3 cup thinly sliced sweet red peppers
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
1/4 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley

2 cups chopped salad greens of choice
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons roasted peanut oil

Instructions
  1. Heat a skillet over medium-low heat. Add the oil followed by the peanuts and toast until warm and starting to toast, 1 to 2 minutes. Be sure to shake the pan often. Add in the minced garlic and cook for a minute more. Remove from heat and let cool.
  2. Cut the cucumbers into bite-sized circles or half-moons. Add to a bowl along with the peppers, cilantro, parsley, and greens. Add in the slightly cooled peanuts.
  3. Whisk together the ingredients for the dressing, pour over the salad, and toss until well combined. Serve immediately.
