Asian Carrot Cucumber Salad with Sesame Ginger Dressing

Light, crunchy, and full of fresh flavor, this Asian carrot cucumber salad is the perfect side dish for summer meals.

Ingredients:

– English cucumbers – Carrot – Salt – Rice vinegar – Soy sauce

Toss together the cucumber slices and salt in a colander and place it in the sink to drain for 20 minutes to help draw out some of the water from the cucumbers.

Whisk together the vinegar, soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, ginger, garlic and red pepper flakes in a small bowl or jar.

Place the salted cucumber slices on several layers of paper towels and squeeze or pat them dry. Add them to a large salad bowl.

Peel and cut the carrots into long ribbons using a vegetable peeler. Add the ribbons to the bowl with the cucumbers.

Pour dressing over cucumbers and carrots; toss until the vegetables are well coated. Top with a sprinkle of green onions and sesame seeds.
