How to make Thai cucumber salad

Thai cucumber salad:

Salad ingredients:

About 6 scallions, diced (or 3 TBS diced yellow onion)
1/2 jalapeno pepper, minced very fine (more if you like hot)
1 LG seedless cucumber or 2 small regular cucumbers, diced
1/4 cup halved peanuts, unsalted and dry roasted

Vinegar and oil marinade:

6 TBS white rice vinegar
6 TBS canola oil
(the above is my favorite combination)
(or try 4 TBS white rice vinegar and 2 TBS lemon or lime juice)
2 TBS water (optional)

Herbs:

2 TBS chopped cilantro
1 TBS minced parsley

Spices:

1 TBS garlic powder
1 TBS sugar
1 scant TBS curry
1/2 tsp sea or kosher salt

In a glass or ceramic bowl add all ingredients and mix well. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 4 hours. Drain well before serving.
Great with salmon or grilled steaks.
Once you've made this, you can adjust the spices to suit your own taste.

This was served with sauteed salmon, a Halloween insalata carprese (Castelvetrano olives, tomatoes, black olives, mozzarella cheese balls on a bed of fresh basil leaves) and spicy cornbread topped with spiced cheese.

Thanks! I was attempting to come up with a twist to this using peanuts only as peanut butter incorporated into a noodle which you then boil, cool and dress with your dressing. I add scallions, cilantro, minced red pepper(bell), thai chilies, sliced radish and cucumber. Oh yes and garlic! I love your recipe, Thank you!
