Ingredients

Scale

 Ingredients:

  • 2 large cucumbers, thinly sliced

  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar

  • 1 tbsp soy sauce

  • 1 tsp sesame oil

  • 1 tsp honey or maple syrup

  • 1 garlic clove, minced

  • 1 tsp grated fresh ginger

  • 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds

  • Optional: sliced green onions, red chili flakes

Instructions

  1. Thinly slice the cucumbers and place them in a bowl.

  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, garlic, and ginger.

  3. Pour dressing over cucumbers and toss well.

  4. Garnish with sesame seeds and optional toppings. Serve chilled.

Notes

  • Use Persian cucumbers or English cucumbers for best crunch — they have fewer seeds and thinner skin.

  • If your cucumbers are too watery, sprinkle with salt and let them sit for 10 minutes, then pat dry.

  • For a spicier version, add a pinch of red chili flakes or a few drops of sriracha to the dressing.

 

  • Chill the salad for 30 minutes before serving to boost flavor.
