Method

1. Wash the cucumber and slice it into thin rounds or half-moons.
2. Coarsely chop the peanuts with a knife to create a crunchy texture.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy drink, maple syrup, lime juice, and a pinch of salt until smooth.
4. Place the cucumber slices in a large bowl and pour the dressing over them.
5. Add the chopped peanuts, sesame seeds, and chili flakes to the bowl.
6. Toss everything gently to ensure the cucumbers are evenly coated.
7. Let the salad rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to combine.

Tips

• To keep the cucumber extra crunchy, salt the slices and let them drain for 10 minutes before dressing.
• You can store this in the fridge for up to 24 hours, but it's best served fresh.
