Recipe Notes

Cucumbers and onions with white vinegar, a touch of salt and pepper and just enough sugar to take the bite off are a bit of a classic in Southern American food.  The flavors are the same – Southeast America, Southeast Asia – just subtle differences.

You can add the peanuts before or after you marinate the salad.  Added before, they will be slightly chewy, but you can also sprinkle them over the top of the salad right before serving.

"A spoonful of honey will catch more flies than a gallon of vinegar."
