Delicious Summer Side Dish
This crunchy cucumber salad is simple but loaded with flavor. It's sweet, spicy, nutty, acidic, and so refreshing.
Step 1
Remove half of the skin in strips then score with a fork and slice. They look like little cucumber flowers and have the best texture!
Step 2
Salt the Cucumbers to draw out some of their moisture, then discard the excess water. This will let them soak up the dressing more readily.
Step 3
Add the sugar and vinegars to the cucumber salad, and let them soak for at least 10 minutes before serving to develop the best flavor.
Step 4
For this recipe use whole Calabrian chili peppers that you've sliced, and black sesame seeds for the best color contrast.
Step 5
The flavors in this cucumber salad make it such a crowd pleaser. It's a must-try ASAP (recipe below)
