Instructions
- Thinly slice the cucumbers. I like to use a mandolin, but you can also slice evenly by hand with a knife.
- Sprinkle salt over the cucumbers and let them sit for 10 minutes while you prepare the dressing. At the end of the 10 minutes, drain liquid released from the cucumbers.
- To make the dressing, whisk together the rice vinegar, soy sauce, oil, honey, ginger, chili flakes, and sesame seeds.
- Add cucumbers, green onions, and dressing to a bowl, and toss to coat. Chill in the refrigerator for 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Serve chilled. Salad is best fresh but can be saved for up to 2 days.
Notes
- Although we mainly serve this cucumber salad as a side dish, it also works wonderfully to add as a topping to other dishes. Try it on top of an Asian style bowl, as a topping on a sandwich, or in a green salad.
- Substitutions:
- How to Store: You put everything into a mason jar, close the lid, and shake! When ready to use, just shake once more and add to the salad.
- Cucumber – Any type of cucumber will work.
- Soy Sauce – I use regular soy sauce for this salad but if sodium is a concern for you, you can definitely use low-sodium soy sauce.
- Ginger - I like to use fresh or jarred for the best flavor, but you can use dried ginger in a pinch.
