Asian-Style Cucumber Salad

Today, I’m bringing you a fun twist on the classic Asian-style cucumber salad—this one’s got a crisscross cut for that extra pop! It’s crunchy, refreshing, and packed with flavor—sweet, sour, and a little spicy. Plus, it’s super quick to make, so it’s perfect when you need a fresh side dish in no time. Let’s get slicing and make this delicious, vibrant salad together! Enjoy!

Easy summer side dish.

This cucumber salad with an Asian “zing” is great any time of year...even when it’s a chilly rainy day!

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)

I was looking for something to go with a steak dish I was trying, called Japanese Steak Rice Bowl. (Japanese Style Steak Rice Bowl https://cookpad.wasmer.app/us/recipes/4643016-japanese-style-steak-rice-bowl ) This Korean cucumber salad looked like it might fit the bill. It was perfect, really added a nice offset to the slightly sweet sauce on the steak. Now to be fair, I'm not a huge fan of cucumbers, it's a take or leave it kind of thing. But I tell you what, this thinly sliced English cucumber, in this light pickle was perfection. I used a medium hot red pepper powder, and it was not spicy. The flavors were fresh and just happen to be perfect with the steak. Without the lime juice, it had a very slight acidic taste, if you want it a tad more, use the lime/lemon juice also.

It only takes 10 mins to add one more flavorful dish on the table 😉

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.... 🤔

Great for a summer barbecue to add a fresh Cucumber salad!

Cucumber salad

This salad is very simple to prepare, but it has a rich flavor, is very refreshing, and is the perfect complement to breaded, grilled, or fried beef, chicken, or pork.

My mother used to make a similar recipe when I was younger. I was never able to get the recipe from her so this is the best recreation of it.

Quick summer salad to fix when cucumbers are in 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!

Easy to make and very delicious :-)

Good

Found a similar recipe while on Google one day and tweeked it a bit to make it my own!

An easy side dish.I recommend chicken thighs because they are juicy, but you can use chicken breast instead. Recipe by Eiyoushino recipe

Guys this is my personal salad because I like spicy food! And for me eggs with sardine and potatoes is great!! So feel free to add what you like. This salad is really adaptable💞💞💞💞💞

I found a recipe online and I revised it.. as usual.. I figured, I would use the same ingredients as Tzatziki sauce but minus shredding of cucumbers. And added onions.. Enjoy!

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! 👏🤤

Love this salad with all kinds of Asian and Southeast Asian style dishes.That sweettangyspicysalty contrast with the cool crunch of cucumber - YUM! :)The recipe is easily doubles.

Super easy and refreshing dish that’s perfect for a quick side dish. The simple combination of sesame oil, vinegar, soy sauce, and sugar brings out the cucumber’s natural flavor, making it incredibly tasty. It pairs wonderfully with cold beer, making it a great choice for casual gatherings or a light meal! Plus, it gets even better when left overnight, so you can enjoy it the next day too.
