Let’s get Cooking!

• Start preparing your delicious Cucumber Salad, by washing an English Cucumber and pat drying it. Cut it lengthwise into two halves and slice them diagonally thinly pieces. Set aside.
• Slice half an Onion into thin juliennes and add them to a mixing bowl along with the sliced cucumbers.
• For the dressing, in a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine light soy sauce, white vinegar, sesame oil, paprika powder, and chili flakes with some sugar. Give them a good mix to combine everything well.
• Take 2 cloves of garlic, peel them, and using a sharp knife finely mince them, and add to the prepared dressing. Garlic will add pungency and a kick of flavor to the salad.
• Once done with the dressing, drizzle it on top of the sliced cucumber and onions. Toss them well until every piece is well coated in the dressing.
• Once mixed, sprinkle some sesame seeds on top to add crunchiness to the salad. Mix.
• Serve immediately, or if you have some time in hand then let the salad rest for about 15-20 minutes inside the refrigerator, this will not only chill it but also allow the dressing to sink deep into the veggies, offering a burst of flavor with each bite.
