A healthy cucumber salad bursting with Asian flavours. It’s refreshing and easy to make. Normally cucumber doesn’t have a lot of flavour on its own and it’s not something I grab all the time. After discovering this recipe, cucumbers are something I want all the time. For a snack, a starter, lunch or a side dish these haven’t disappointed any of us yet.
Our recipe process will guarantee crunchy cucumbers every time – no one likes soggy cukes. This garlicky, spicy, tangy madness is everything you’ve been looking for in a cucumber salad. If you’re not into spice, there is a sweet and sour marinade in the recipe notes below!
Ingredients
- Marinade
Instructions
- Wash and slice the cucumber, add to a large bowl and mix in sugar and salt. Set aside for 30 minutes and make your marinade. Letting the cucumber sit will pull out the access water giving you a nice crunchy salad.
- Add the marinade ingredients into a measuring cup and stir. After the 30 minutes are up, drain the access water and add the marinade. Mix well and enjoy!
Notes
- Try this with homemade sushi, teriyaki chicken, stir fry or own its own for lunch!
