Ingredients
Directions
To make cucumber salad:
In a medium bowl, mix cucumber, onion, vinegar, oil, fish sauce, garlic and salt. Let marinate at least 10 minutes. Salad will keep, covered, up to 3 days in refrigerator. Makes 1 1/2 cup.
To make sandwich:
Spread peanut butter on one slice of bread and mint jelly on the other. Top one side with 1/2 cup cucumber salad and save the rest of the salad for a second sandwich. Because you will definitely want another.
