Ingredients

1 large seedless cucumber
2 cloves garlic
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon honey
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1-2 teaspoons sriracha sauce, to taste
½ teaspoon sea salt
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
optional red pepper, to taste

Instructions

Thinly slice cucumber and finely chop the garlic.
In a small bowl or mason jar, blend together sesame oil, soy sauce, olive oil, honey, rice vinegar, and sriracha sauce.
Place sliced cucumbers and minced garlic in a medium sized bowl. Pour dressing over and mix together well. Season with ½ teaspon of salt (more or less to taste) then garnish with sesame seeds. Serve with red pepper flakes if a more spicy cucumber salad is desired.

Notes

This cucumber salad is best made a few hours before serving so the cucumbers marinate in the dressing. It can also be made the night before. Store in an airtight plastic container for up to 3 days.
