A Stamina-boosting Cucumber Salad with Pork
cookpad.japan @cookpad_jp
We are given a lot of cucumbers every year. I have tried different recipes to use them up.
Even my meat-lover husband likes this dish. When I serve this dish as a starter it is filling, so he doesn't have to eat too much later.
This salad is very satisfying. You won't feel hungry when you are on a diet.
It's also good with beer.
＊Pour the meat sauce just before serving. Otherwise the salad will be watery.
＊Adjust the spiciness according to your taste.
＊I used large cucumbers in this recipe. If you use small ones use about three... Recipe by putimiko.

- 1
Rehydrate the wakame seaweed in water and cut into bite sizes. Cut the pork into small pieces. Chop the garlic and ginger finely. Cut the red chilli lengthways in half and remove the seeds.
- 2
Rub the surface of the cucumber with salt and rinse in water. Cut lengthways in half and slice diagonally into 2-3 mm pieces.
- 3
Pour the sesame oil into a frying pan and add the garlic, ginger and chilli. Heat the frying pan over a low heat and infuse the oil with garlic, ginger and chilli.
- 4
Add the pork and fry until brown. Add ▣ ingredients and turn the heat to low. When the pork absorbs the sauce, turn off the heat.
- 5
Transfer the cucumber and wakame seaweed onto a serving dish.
- 6
Pour over the meat sauce. Sprinkle with sesame seeds (ground) and black pepper. Finish with bonito flakes to give a nice flavour.
- 7
Add some ra-yu or ichimi spice for a hot flavour. This salad goes well with beer. If you are on a diet, use lean meat.
- 8
Increase the amount of pork if you want to make a more satisfying dish. Bacon will work well. Bacon is salty, so adjust the saltiness when you season.

The only thing i do differently on the recipe is i use one large seedless cucumber, around 12" and omit the tomatoes. Very tasty side dish, enjoy!
Midsummer Cucumber Salad
I decided not to garden this year. Thankfully, I have a generous neighbor who provides me with the bounty from his. He provides the cucumbers, I provide the salad. Sounds like a good tradeoff to me.Cucumber salad is cold, refreshing, and perfect as a side to any BBQ dish, but perfectly good on its own. A glass of rose doesn't hurt.

Sweet Cucumber Salad
Our local Thai place has a really nice cucumber salad that is very sweet. This is owr version of a cucumber salad that is not as sweet, with a pop of flavor from the pepper. We enjoy this during warmer months with various chicken or pork dishes. And now to find a decent peanut sauce recipe.... 🤔
Chunky Bacon and Cucumber Salad
This is a recipe that uses up a lot of cucumbers. I wanted to make a western style salad that went well with pasta, so I combined some ingredients I usually have on hand.The sautéed bacon and olive oil becomes the dressing. It goes best with the cucumber if you think it's a bit too salty. The cucumber loses its raw flavor, and it becomes a very tasty salad. Great as a drinking appetizer! For 2 servings.

It's really good.If you are using regular ponzu sauce, you may want to add a little sugar. For 2 servings. Recipe by Ponzu shokunin nao
Easy Cucumber Salad
This is a simple recipe from my childhood. My stepfather always made this growing up. We ate this as a side dish, as an appetizer, at cookouts,...even as a topper for other foods! He usually only did "Cucumbers & Tomatoes in Italian Dressing" but when I started making it myself in my late 20s I started adding onion because I'm obsessed with them! 😆👌 Then, in my early 30s a good friend made this at her home with the addition of green peppers as she had grown a lot of them that year. So now, my personal recipe has adapted to the inclusion of all of these wonderful foods! I also, play around occasionally with the dressing. 😎👍 This particular time I used a raspberry vinaigrette in place of Italian Dressing & I have also used regular vinaigrettes as well. This is always a nice addition to dinner or the cookout. And even as a midday snack! 👏🤤

Yummy Chinese-Style Shabu-Shabu Pork and Crushed Cucumber Salad
I had 2 cucumbers left from some I'd bought on sale, so I decided to make a salad with them using ingredients I had in the refrigerator that could be served with rice. I don't like spicy food, and neither do my kids, but we all love this salad.If you shabu-shabu the pork in the boiling water it will get tough, so turn the heat off before shabu-shabu (waving it around) in the hot water. For 4 servings. Recipe by Chisora

Pickled Cucumber - Asian Cucumber Salad
I'm sharing another pickled cucumber recipe, which is also easy and quick to make. As long as you have all the ingredients at home, you can prepare this dish in half an hour. You can serve this dish after marinating it for 30 minutes, but the longer you marinate it, the more flavorful it'll get. Make sure you keep the pickled cucumber in the refrigerator. And I recommend finishing it within 5 days. This pickled cucumber can be served as an appetizer or a side with any meaty or hearty dish. The refreshing and crunchy cucumber will cut right through the grease. Instruction video (https://youtu.be/TYnfn6JIJew)

Tofu and Cucumber Salad with Umeboshi-Sesame Dressing
I made this when I was out of dressing. It was really good, so I've been relying on it ever since.This is also good with mizuna greens or green bell peppers instead of cucumber.If you leave it standing for too long the tofu will start to exude moisture, so I recommend making it just before you plan to eat it. For 2 servings. Recipe by naganyo
