I have only been craving salads since last week, but even with the strongest craving, the same salad will eventually bore you. So I had to look into options for something a little different. I stumbled upon a recipe promising something crisp, refreshing, and full of bold flavor. I made some personal adjustments to this Asian cucumber salad recipe to match what l had on hand. It is everything I needed: crunchy cucumbers, a tangy-sweet soy dressing, a kick of chili oil, and a nutty touch of sesame. It comes together in minutes and hits all the right notes. #CA2025 #nofuss
