Asian Cucumber Salad Ingredients

  • 4 cups very thinly sliced seedless cucumbers preferably mini cucumbers for neat slices
  • 1/4 cup finely sliced red onion adds a kinda sharp punch
  • 1/4 cup finely diced red bell pepper provides a sweet crunch
  • 1/4 cup rice wine vinegar brings the tang
  • 1 teaspoon honey for just a bit of sweetness
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds to sprinkle on top, making it nutty
  • 1/2 teaspoon toasted sesame oil gives that rich aroma you can’t miss
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes kicks up the heat a notch
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt to bring all the flavors together

Preparation Instructions

  • Start by slicing your cucumbers super thin, like paper-thin if you can. This is gonna make them soak up the dressing real good.
  • Combine those cucumbers with the finely sliced red onion and diced red bell pepper in a big bowl. You want even distribution of all the colors and flavors.
  • Whisk together rice wine vinegar, honey, toasted sesame oil, red pepper flakes, and sea salt in a smaller bowl until it’s all mixed smooth. This is your dressing.
  • Pour the dressing over the cucumber mix and toss them gently so nothing gets bruised, just nice and coated.
  • Sprinkle sesame seeds on top and give it a gentle toss again. Those seeds are like little bursts of flavor. Pop the bowl in the fridge for at least 10 minutes to let the flavors meld and kinda soften the veggies just a tad.

Notes

Serve the Asian cucumber salad chilled as a refreshing side dish. Enjoy it with sweet potato fries, slow cooker chicken curry, and hot honey ground beef bowls for a complete meal. Store leftovers in airtight containers and keep chilled to maintain freshness.
