Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 English cucumbers
  • 2 bell peppers
  • 1/2 small red onion
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
  • 1/2 tsp granulated sugar
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds
  • Salt

Method
 

  1. Slice the cucumbers and bell peppers into thin rounds or strips. Cut the red onion into paper-thin half-moons if using.
  2. Whisk together the rice vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, and sugar until the sugar dissolves, then stir in the red pepper flakes.
  3. Toss the vegetables with the dressing, let sit for 2 minutes, and top with sesame seeds. Serve immediately.

Notes

This salad is at its best within 30 minutes of tossing. If you need to prep ahead, slice the vegetables and mix the dressing, but store them separately and combine just before eating.
