Crispy cucumber salad
Welcome back to a fresh new year! The cold and snowy weather has me opting for warm and often heavy stews but to balance these flavors I prefer to serve some light and fresh as a side dish. This recipe will give you exactly that! It can also serve as a great dish on its own when the weather goes lighter.
I love cucumber! It is a very humble yet powerful vegetable and this little salad combines the crispy cucumber with the freshness of the lime juice and the depth from the soy sauce. If you combine it with the chili roasted sesame seeds, you have a great combination that is one of my favorite salads.
All you need for this fantastic combination is, half a cucumber, the juice from a lime, soy sauce, some olive oil and some chili roasted sesame seeds.
Thinly slice the cucumbers and mix with the other ingredients
