The Most Popular Recipe of 2023

• total time: 15 minutes

Ingredients

6 Persian cucumbers, sliced

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

3 Tbsp rice wine vinegar

1 Tbsp sesame oil

1 ½ Tbsp tamari or soy sauce

1 Tbsp honey

1/4 cup of green chives, chopped

1/4 tsp red pepper flakes

1/2 Tbsp sesame seeds

Directions

Slice cucumbers; traditionally they’re sliced very thinly- but I like mine with a bit of thickness and crunch. Sprinkle them with sea salt and toss.

KEY STEP: let cucumbers sit with the salt for ~15 mins and they’ll release their excess moisture. Press down and squeeze any excess water into the sink. This is the best tip- as the dressing/vinaigrette won’t get watered down. Add: vinegar, sesame oil, soy or tamari, honey, red pepper flakes, sesame seeds and chives. Toss well to coat. I top mine with a few more chives and sesame seeds for the win! You can also add 2 crushed garlic cloves and a teaspoon of gochujang paste. Enjoy every bite & make it this weekend! SO good with almost anything and perfect year-round, but especially when warmer weather arrives!#vegetarianfood #saladlove #cucumber🥒 #saladlovers💚
