This dish was often served at our dinner table, especially during the summer, and it was one of my first potluck contributions when I was in school. If you have any leftover roast chicken or turkey, use it here.

1 long seedless cucumber or 1 pound regular cucumbers
¼ cup smooth peanut butter
½ teaspoon salt, or to taste
1 tablespoon sesame seed oil
½ cup shredded cooked chicken or turkey

1. Wash the seedless cucumber, split in half lengthwise, and slice on the diagonal, ¼ inch thick. If using regular cucumbers, partially peel, leaving strips of green skin, split in half lengthwise, and with a teaspoon scoop out the seeds and discard. Slice on the diagonal, ¼ inch thick.

2. In a small bowl, gradually stir ¼ cup cold water into the peanut butter and mix with a rubber spatula to make a smooth paste. Add the salt and sesame seed oil. Set aside.

3. When ready to serve, mix the cucumber slices with the shredded chicken and peanut dressing.
