Tips & Storage:

• In case, you do not have roasted peanuts you can dry roast a cup of fresh peanuts on a stove-top pan under medium flame, by stirring continuously.
• Roast them until they change their colour  and  you get a pleasant aroma.
• Once the roasted peanuts are cooled, powder them in a blender.
• While mixing everything, just do it very gently once or twice.
• Do not over mix the ingredients in the salad bowl.
• I used brown sugar and hence my lemon juice mix is in such colour.
• You can add the salt and sugar as per your taste.
• Too much of lemon juice might make the salad watery.
• Storage: I would prefer making this salad fresh rather storing it.

Result:

• This, simple and easy to make, Cucumber and Peanut Salad looks exactly as shown in the pic below.
• It tastes sour, nutty and crunchy, most of all it’s very healthy with all natural stuff. 
• Being a very low carbs salad it perfectly fits in my salad calorie count for the day.
