This Asian Slinky Cucumber Salad is crunchy, savory, with a refreshing taste! Instructions on how to cut a loopy and springy cucumber below.
Sauce
Slinky Cucumber
Give the Persian cucumbers a quick rinse. Place one cucumber in between chopsticks to help with controlling the depth of cutting.
Start slicing the whole cucumber at a diagonal. Every slice should stop when you hit the chopsticks to make sure you don't cut all the way through.
Once you're done, turn the cucumber upside down so the uncut part is on top and place it between the chopsticks. Slice the whole cucumber again but at a straight angle. Repeat with the other cucumbers.
Place cucumbers in a bowl and add salt. Gently massage to spread the salt all over the cucumbers and set aside for at least 20 minutes to draw out the water.
After 20 minutes, give it a quick rinse and gently squeeze out excess water.
Sauce
Add all the ingredients to a bowl and mix well. Add the cucumbers and toss until the cucumbers are all coated.
Set aside for 5-10 minutes for the cucumber to soak up the sauce. Serve and enjoy!
