This refreshing cucumber salad is perfect as a side dish for any Asian-themed meal or a BBQ. It's made with crisp Persian cucumbers, a sweet and tangy dressing, and garnished with toasted sesame oil and crushed peanuts.
1: Sprinkle the salt and sugar over the cucumber, mix and let it sit for 30 minutes.
2: The cucumbers will release their moisture; drain them and wash them.
3: Mix all the dressing ingredients and pour over the cucumbers.
4: Mix well and set aside to chill for 4-5 hours.
5: Before serving, add the sesame oil and sprinkle the crushed peanuts.
6: Optionally, add birds eye chili over the top for added heat.
