Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
- 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seed oil
- 1 teaspoons freshly minced or grated ginger , or to taste
- 1 tablespoon honey (use maple syrup for vegan)
- salt
- 1 English cucumber (or 5-6 baby cucumbers); sliced
- 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves , finely chopped
- 3 green onions , chopped
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds , for serving
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the lime juice, sesame oil, ginger, honey and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Add in the cucumbers, mint, and green onions, and toss gently to coat. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
- Sprinkle sesame seeds over the top and serve right away. This salad will become watery when stored in the fridge, so I recommend storing the cucumbers and dressing separately if you need to store it for more than a few hours. The sliced cucumbers should last for up to 3 days in the fridge before getting soggy.
