🥒 Chinese Cucumber Salad 🥒 This is a classic childhood dish that I grew up eating and it’s by far one of the tastiest ever despite it being so simple! Also... the longer you let it sit in the dressing, the better it tastes 🤭 Ingredients 2 large or 3 medium cucumbers Approx. 1-2 tsp sea salt 1.5 tbsp black vinegar 1 tbsp soy sauce 1 tsp sesame oil 2 tsp sugar or sweetener of choice 2 cloves garlic, minced Chilli oil, to taste 1. Wash your cucumbers then slice off the ends. Smash down using a knife to split it lengthways then slice into rough chunks. 2. Place into a bowl and sprinkle some salt over to draw out any excess moisture. Mix well and set aside for 5-10 mins. 3. Rinse the cucumber to get rid of any excess salt then drain well (taste to test it). 4. In the meantime, combine the vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar, garlic and chilli oil. Toss well to coat. 5. Serve immediately or alternately, cover and place in the fridge to sit and marinade before serving. When ready, transfer onto a plate, spoon on the leftover dressing and garnish with extra chilli oil. Enjoy! #vegan #plantbased #healthyrecipe #healthyfood #health #saladrecipe #salads #salad #easyrecipe #recipeidea #homemade #cucumber #cucumbersalad #asianrecipe #chinesecucumbersalad

I can’t stop making this smashed Asian cucumber salad! It’s cooling, crunchy, and tossed in the most delicious sesame-garlic dressing, with a little kick from the chili crisp. I’ve also added extra green onion and chopped cilantro for a bright, herby twist. It’s the perfect chilled vegetable side dish for any Asian-inspired dinner. But I could honestly just eat a whole bowl of this to myself with a side of rice. It’s that good!
