Make the dressing: Stir vinegar, lime juice, and sugar together in a small bowl until sugar dissolves.
Step 2
Make the salad: Hold cucumber upright and use a peeler to remove strips of peel lengthwise, making a pattern of peeled and unpeeled strips all the way around for a decorative effect. Cut cucumber in half lengthwise, then thinly slice each half.
Step 3
Place cucumber into a salad bowl with tomatoes and red onion; mix to combine. Pour dressing over salad and mix until well combined. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Step 4
Just before serving, stir cilantro into salad and sprinkle chopped peanuts over top.
