I love cucumber, it’s so light, fresh and healthy. However, cucumber by itself doesn’t have much of a flavor.
One of my favorite recipes for cucumber is Asian cucumber salad, which is packed full of flavors and utterly delicious.
The key to making a great Asian cucumber salad lies in the dressing. My recipe is garlicky, spicy, savory, with just a touch of sweetness and tartness. The cucumber is crunchy so every bite is bursting with flavors. Chill the cucumber in the refrigerator for the best results. Asian cucumber salad is a great appetizer, which help to stimulate a healthy appetite. Try my recipe and I am sure you will like it.

I made the cucumber salad twice, once using Bee’s recipe as published here, and another time using Maangchi’s recipes. Although both dishes were good, I prefer Maangchi’s recipe.because it is more authentic Korean dish.

Hi Andrew, my recipe is not exactly Korean, even though I use Korean chili powder. Chinese and Taiwanese make similar cucumber salad.

Is the quantity for the sesame oil (mentioned in the directions) the same as chilli oil 1 teaspoon. Going to try tonight.

In the ingredients you have mentionned garlic but in the method, I don’t find garlic. Could you explain how to use the garlic in this recipe ? Thank you.

Wow this looks amazing! It immediately caught my attention while wasting time scrolling on pinterest lol I am not a huge salad fan (tho I’m a vegan and folks think that is all we eat) this looks like one I can add to my very few salad recipe collection ?
