Thai Cucumber Salad

You will need: Cucumbers, jalapeno pepper, scallions, fresh cilantro and parsley, peanuts, rice wine vinegar, garlic and curry powder.

Seed and dice 2 large cucumbers from the garden, and add 1 diced fresh hot pepper (like jalapeno), 6 sliced scallions, 1/4 cup each of fresh cilantro and parsley, and 1 cup of roasted peanuts.  Make a dressing of equal parts rice wine vinegar and peanut oil, 1 clove of fresh chopped garlic, 1 tablespoon of sugar and 1 teaspoon of curry powder.  Add the dressing to the cucumbers and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.  Serve cold with grilled local tofu or tempeh steaks.
