Cucumber Noodle Salad

Ingredients:
10oz lo mein or spaghetti (I used whole wheat spaghetti)
1 large cucumber, cut to a medium dice
6 Tbs soy sauce
4.5 tsp rice wine vinegar
3 Tbs toasted sesame oil
3 Tbs natural peanut butter (like Adam's)
1 Tbs dark molasses
7oz thinly sliced Chinese sausage, lop chong. If you can't find this, you can substitute bacon.
1c chopped cilantro
1/2c sliced basil leaves
3c loosely packed salad greens
1/4c chopped roasted salted peanuts

Cook noodles until just tender. Drain, rinse well with cold water, and set aside.
Whisk together soy sauve, vinegar, peanut butter and molasses in a large bowl. Set aside.
Lightly brown sausage (or cook bacon). Drain on paper towels.
Add noodles to peanut butter sauce, tossing to coast, then add remaining ingredients.
Serve on a bed of salad greens garnished with peanuts.
