Spicy cucumber salad with peanut butter & chili oil
When you think of cucumber, you don’t exactly imagine a flavor explosion. That’s why a cucumber salad isn’t really something we get super excited about. In fact, it’s a bit boring. But here at Heatsupply, we love making boring food fun, and once again, we’ve got a magic ingredient for that: chili oil, or chili crisp. This version is actually very flavorful, and we even get a bit excited about it. And it’s also super quick & easy to make. Win-win!

Of course, the base is cucumber, which you slice into (not too thin) slices. We used a mandoline for this, but be careful, because this is truly the most dangerous kitchen appliance out there. The first attempt didn’t go quite right, but the second attempt was spot on. You can put the cucumber, along with the other ingredients, in a plastic container. Below you can see what those other ingredients are. We already spilled the beans on peanut butter and chili oil, but in the video below, you’ll see the rest too!

Once all the ingredients are in the container, all you need to do is shake & mix well, and you’re done! You can eat this fresh, savory, and spicy salad right away, or store it in the fridge. By the way, it’s also healthy and especially for the athletes among us, a healthy way to get a good amount of protein.
