Cucumber salads continue to be the craze and there’s no better way to cool down than with this refreshing ASIAN CUCUMBER SALAD!🥒🥗 Totally inspired by traditional Korean and Japanese cucumber salads- you’re going to love this spin on the simple vinaigrette! Save the recipe deets below👇🏼👇🏼 ~6 Persian cucumbers, sliced 1/2 teaspoon sea salt 3 Tbsp rice wine vinegar 1 Tbsp sesame oil 1.5 Tbsp tamari or soy sauce 1 Tbsp honey 1/4 cup of green chives, chopped ~1/4 tsp red pepper flakes ~1/2 Tbsp sesame seeds Instructions 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Slice cucumbers; traditionally they’re sliced very thinly- but I like mine with a bit of thickness and crunch. Sprinkle them with sea salt and toss. KEY STEP: let cucumbers sit with the salt for ~15 mins and they’ll release their excess moisture. Press down and squeeze any excess water into the sink. This is the best tip- as the dressing/vinaigrette won’t get watered down. Add: vinegar, sesame oil, soy or tamari, honey, red pepper flakes, sesame seeds and chives. Toss well to coat. I top mine with a few more chives and sesame seeds for the win! You can also add 2 crushed garlic cloves and a teaspoon of gochujang paste. Enjoy every bite & make it this weekend! SO good with almost anything and perfect year-round, but especially when warmer weather arrives! Hope you're having a great evening, friends!👋🏻✨xx
