FLORIDA CUCUMBER AND MANGO SALAD WITH PEANUTS

2 medium Florida cucumbers, peeled, seeded, cut into small pieces
Juice of one large lime
½ cup red onions, finely chopped
½ cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped
½ cup Florida mango, peeled and cubed
¼ tsp kosher salt
2/3 cup Florida peanuts, coarsely chopped
(A French-style mandoline can be used to cut the cucumber and mango into long strings. If one is not available, follow the directions above.)

Mix everything but the peanuts together. Add half the peanuts and mix well. Sprinkle the rest of the peanuts on top of the salad before you serve. This is a great side dish for fish.
