Easy Cucumber Ribbon Salad

Ingredients

• 1 Cucumber (large, peeled into ribbons)
• 2 tbsp Chili oil (with sediment/crunchy bits)
• 1 tbsp Soy sauce
• 1 tsp Rice vinegar
• 1 tsp Sesame seeds (for garnish)
• 1 Spring onion (finely sliced)

Steps

1. 1

   Wash the cucumber and pat dry. Using a vegetable peeler, shave the cucumber into long, thin ribbons, rotating the cucumber as you go. Stop when you reach the watery core.

2. 2

   Place the cucumber ribbons into a medium mixing bowl.

3. 3

   Add the chili oil, soy sauce, and rice vinegar to the bowl with the cucumbers.

4. 4

   Toss the ingredients gently until the cucumber ribbons are evenly coated in the dressing.

5. 5

   Transfer the salad to a serving plate and garnish with toasted sesame seeds and sliced spring onions.

Notes

For the best texture, serve immediately after tossing to prevent the cucumber from releasing too much water and diluting the dressing.
