Cucumber Salad Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Wash the cucumbers thoroughly under running water. Slice the cucumbers into thin rounds or half-moons, depending on your preference. Peel the red onion and slice it thinly into rings or half-moons.

  2. 2

    Combine the Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced cucumbers, red onion, and chopped fresh cilantro.

  3. 3

    Make the Dressing

    In a small bowl, whisk together the rice vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, red chili flakes, salt, and sugar until well combined.

  4. 4

    Toss the Salad

    Pour the dressing over the cucumber mixture and gently toss to coat all the vegetables evenly with the dressing.

  5. 5

    Chill and Serve

    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled as a refreshing side dish.
