Quick Sweet and Sour Cucumber Salad

Your new favourite snack !

This snack or side dish is one of my favourites whenever I’m craving something savoury and quick. You can prep and set this salad aside to enhance the flavour of all your ingredients or eat it as soon as you make it to maintain that satisfying freshness and crunch. This adaptable recipe welcomes changes, allowing you to add or omit ingredients freely, or even enhance any element to suit your taste.

Ingredients:

(This recipe is good for 1-2 servings)

• 1 whole English cucumber

• 1 tsp brown sugar

• ½ tsp garlic powder or 1 garlic clove

• 1 tbsp chilli oil+flakes (the amount of both chilli flakes and oil should equal 1 tbsp)

• ½ tbsp soy sauce

• 1 tsp sesame oil

• ½ tsp rice vinegar

• ½ tsp salt (or ½ tbsp of salt if you’re planning on marinating your cucumber salad.)

• 1 tsp of sesame seeds

• 1 tsp hoisin sauce

1. Slice em’ up!

• Use a mandoline slicer or a knife to cut your cucumber into thin and even slices.

• Add your cucumbers to a container (that has a lid)

• This step is only required if you want to marinate your salad: evenly coat cucumbers with salt, set them aside for 15-20 minutes and then wash the salt off thoroughly.

2. Put everything together and serve!

• Add the rest of your ingredients to your container, adjust everything to your preference, cover it with a lid and shake until it all comes together. You can either serve it right then and there or leave it in the fridge for later!

• Enjoy! x
