Spicy Asian Cucumber Salad

 I found this recipe on TikTok. It has the Asian flavors that I love and the ingredients are all pretty accessible. Was not disappointed! I chose to slice my carrots and cukes instead of ribbon cutting them.  You will make a lot more dressing than needed for the salad.  Save for another dish.  Also, I chose to add peanuts as a topping vs adding them to the salad. 

Asian Cucumber Salad

3-4 small cucumbers (I used 2 regular size English cucumbers), thinly sliced

2 carrots, thinly sliced

1/4 cup diced onion

1 avocado, chopped

2-3 Tbsp roasted peanuts (I use unsalted)

2 Tbsp chopped cilantro

Optional: Add a protein like tofu, chicken or shrimp

Asian Dressing:

1/2 cup rice vinegar

2 Tbsp soy sauce

1 Tbsp honey

1 tsp sesame oil

1 Tbsp sesame seeds

2 Tbsp chili crisp (I use Trade Joe's chili crisp)

Directions:

Mix dressing and set aside.  Dice and chop vegetables (or make ribbons with a peeler). Dice onions. Mix all ingredients together, except peanuts.  Drizzle on the dressing and top with peanuts.
