Asian Cucumber Salad

Step 1

Slice the cucumbers thinly, then place them in a large bowl and sprinkle with salt. Toss to coat and allow them to rest for about 10-15 minutes.

Step 2

Drain off any liquid that has been released from the cucumbers. Do not rinse the cucumbers. Transfer them to a paper towel lined tray and pat mostly dry. Return the cucumbers to the bowl.

Step 3

While the cucumbers are resting, stir together the garlic, ginger, vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, and chili paste in a small bowl or glass measuring cup. Whisk to combine the dressing ingredients.

Step 4

Pour the dressing over the cucumbers and toss to coat. Taste the cucumbers and adjust seasonings as desired. Sprinkle with green onions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately or chill until ready to serve.
