Ingredients
- 1 pound cocktail cucumbers cut into ¼-inch slices
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari
- 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
- 2 teaspoons honey
- 1 teaspoon Sriracha
- ¼ teaspoon finely minced fresh ginger
- ¼ cup diced red onion
- ¼ cup chopped roasted and salted cashews
Instructions
- Add sliced cucumbers to a large bowl and sprinkle with salt. Let sit for at least 15 minutes. Pat dry with a paper towel every few minutes to remove excess liquid.
- Meanwhile, in a medium-sized bowl whisk together the rice vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, sriracha, and ginger.
- Pour the dressing over the cucumbers and toss until well coated. Add diced red onion and chopped cashews. Toss to combine.
Notes
- Salt Trick. Sprinkling with salt removes a lot of the unwanted liquid from the cucumbers.
- Keep it crunchy. Add the nuts and onions just before serving to ensure crunchy goodness in every bite.
- Storage. Keep them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. The cucumbers will become soft and mushy after this time. Do not freeze
