Asian Cucumber Sesame Salad

Step 1

Trim the ends of the cucumber and spiralize the cucumbers or use a julienne peeler. Place the sliced cucumbers in a colander and toss them with the 1 teaspoon of salt. Let the cucumbers sit in the colander in the sink for at least 5 minutes to draw out excess water/moisture..

Step 2

While the cucumber is sitting, spiralize or peel the carrots and chop the sweet peppers. You can also use this time to prepare the dressing.

Step 3

Once the cucumber has drained for 15 minutes, spread them out on a layer of paper towels, or a clean dish towel, and gently pat out as much moisture as you can.

Step 4

Place the cucumber noodles, carrots, and pepper in mixing bowl large enough to hold the salad. Add 2-3 tablespoons of the dressing and toss to combine, coating the salad. Top with the sliced green onion, sesame seeds, and cilantro and serve immediately.
