Step 1

1.) Clean 6 to 8 Persian style cucumbers.

Step 2

2.) Slice off the tip of each end.

Step 3

3.) You can slice your cucumbers however you’d like for this salad. I chose the accordion style. I used two chopsticks as buffers so I wouldn’t slice all the way through each cucumber. Place one chop stick on top and one on the bottom and lay the cucumber horizontally in-between them on a cutting board.

Step 4

4.)Make vertical cuts the length of the entire cucumber about 1 cm apart being careful not to cut through to the bottom of the cucumber.

Step 5

5.) Flip the cucumber over and make diagonal cuts about 1 cm apart across the entire cucumber.

Step 6

6.) Repeat the process for each cucumber and place them in a separate bowl. Pull them apart for some fun! It’s kind of like a food slinky when executed correctly.

Step 7

7.) Top them with 1 tbsp of salt. Sprinkle to make sure each cucumber is coated and allow to rest for 15 min before rinsing.

Step 8

8.) In a separate bowl combine 4 tsp of minced garlic, 1 tbsp of chipotle powder, 1 tbsp of sesame oil, 2 tbsp of unseasoned rice vinegar, 1 tbsp of soy sauce, 1 tbsp of packed brown sugar, and 1 and 1/2 tbsp of sesame seeds.

Step 9

9.)Rinse and pat your cucumbers dry before coating them in the dressing.
