Cucumber Salad

I wanted to make a light and refreshing salad!Use plenty of shiso leaves. For 2 servings. Recipe by Teroron

Two Salad dressings made from fresh young cucumber, one creamy with fresh mayonnaise, one tangy with fresh greek yoghurt. These are quick and refreshing in summer. And easy to make.#GlobalCookpadGames2024

This has become a go-to for weekly meal prepping. It's such a simple, but tasty recipe and adds a lot of freshness to a meal. I usually pair it with some quinoa or brown rice, some chicken or drained and rinsed chickpeas and some feta cheese. If you'd like to take some of the 'bite' out of the raw onion, soak it in some cold water for a few minutes first.

This is an easy, fresh, and super tasty side dish, which I call #relaxcooking

I came up with the idea for this recipe thinking that konyaku could be used as a substitute for jellyfish in Chinese style cucumber and jellyfish marinated salad, since frozen konyaku has a texture similar to jellyfish. I posted this recipe because the dish came out very tasty, and the frozen konyaku gave an interesting texture, although it would not be mistaken for jellyfish.Complete the first three steps of the recipe a day before. Once the prepared materials are frozen, cooking takes very little time. The konyaku to be used should not contain fresh yam. That type of konyaku tends to be too crispy, and so is not recommended for this recipe. Reasonably-priced regular konyaku would do fine. Recipe by Poron526

I wanted a change from the traditional salad, and something cool, and refreshing.

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! 👏🤤

This is the most simple side to come along. Mom is (and now I am) famous for it.

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.

When I was little my mom and I would go to a Korean market where they made cucumber salad. This is my version of it. Still haven't been able to get that childhood taste but it is still great!
