Description

A refreshing cucumber salad with a flavorful dressing.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large english cucumber (or 6 mini; total 3 cups sliced)
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon chili crunch oil
  • 2 drops sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic (can be omitted)

Instructions

  1. Start by washing the cucumber skins under cool running water with a vegetable brush; then pat dry with a paper towel.
  2. Slice the cucumbers into 1/4-inch thick slices and place them into a bowl. If using a whole English cucumber, cut them in half lengthwise before slicing so they’re bite-sized. I used mini cucumbers for this recipe.
  3. In a separate small bowl, combine the soy sauce, honey, lime juice, sesame oil and chili crunch oil. Whisk until smooth; then pour into the bowl with the cucumbers and mix well and add the salad to a serving bowl.

Notes

  • Chili crunch oil can be adjusted according to your spice preference.
  • This dish is best served fresh.
