  1. Begin by slicing fresh cucumbers into thin strips, about 1/4 inch wide, to create a light and crunchy base for your Cucumber Peanut Butter Salad. Transfer into a large mixing bowl.
  2. Chop a handful of fresh parsley and finely dice your chosen chilies, then toss them into the bowl with the cucumbers along with a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine smooth peanut butter, soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, maple syrup, and minced garlic. Whisk until smooth and well-blended.
  4. Pour the dressing over the cucumber and veggie mixture and gently toss until all ingredients are thoroughly coated.
