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.

  1. 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.

  4. 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.
