Spicy Cucumber Salad with Roasted Peanuts

A sprinkle of toasted peanuts and bright cilantro contributes an intriguing dimension to this Thai-style salad, which is refreshing, pungent and spicy at the same time. Marinating the cucumber, onion and chili in the sweetened vinegar mixture mellows their distinctive flavors and softens their textures.
