Description
A refreshing and simple Viral Creamy Asian Cucumber Salad that is perfect for a chilled delight.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large cucumbers, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup light mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon tamari sauce
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
- 2 scallions, finely chopped
Instructions
- Place the sliced cucumbers in a mixing bowl and sprinkle them with sea salt. Allow them to rest for about 10 minutes to release their water content. Afterward, drain any excess liquid.
- In another bowl, blend the Greek yogurt, light mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, tamari sauce, toasted sesame oil, honey, onion powder, and freshly grated ginger until the mixture is creamy and well integrated.
- Introduce the drained cucumbers to the creamy dressing and stir gently until each slice is thoroughly coated.
- Top the salad with toasted sesame seeds and finely chopped scallions, then fold them in lightly to combine.
- For optimal taste, cover the bowl and chill in the refrigerator for at least half an hour before serving, allowing the flavors to develop beautifully.
Notes
- For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a dash of chili flakes or a spoonful of wasabi to the dressing.
- You can swap out the light mayonnaise for a vegan alternative to make this dish plant-based while keeping it creamy.
