betty's thai cucumber and bean sprout salad
A perfect salad for when it's blistery hot outside, so cooling and wonderful served with BBQ'd meats, a rotisserie chicken (hot or cold) or slices of ham. Make when cucumbers are in season and plentiful. I use toasted peanuts from a bag. Make as close to serving time as possible. This recipe does not store well and should eaten on the day of preparation.
