How to Prepare Vietnamese Cucumber Salad with Cilantro and Roasted Peanuts [Vegan, Gluten Free]

Slice the cucumber in half lengthwise. Remove the seeds with a spoon. Cut the cucumber into half-moons ½ inch (13 mm) thick and arrange on a serving plate.
Toast the peanuts and sesame seeds in a dry pan over medium-high heat for 4 minutes, stirring constantly, until golden brown. Set aside to cool.
Thinly slice the scallions, chile, and garlic. Distribute them evenly over the cucumber.
For the dressing, whisk together the vinegar and agave syrup. Pour over the salad and toss to coat.
Top with the mint and cilantro and the toasted seeds and nuts.
