Quick Cucumber Salad

This refreshing and flavorful Crushed Cucumber Salad is a perfect blend of crisp textures and bold tastes, making it an irresistible side dish or appetizer. Fresh cucumbers are crushed to absorb the savory marinade of vinegar, light and dark soy sauce, sugar, and aromatic spices. Fragrant minced garlic is stir-fried to golden perfection and drizzled over the cucumbers, infusing them with a rich, savory depth. A splash of homemade chili oil adds a spicy kick, while crunchy peanuts, fresh coriander, and nutty sesame seeds provide the perfect finishing touch. Quick to prepare yet packed with vibrant flavors, this dish is a must-try for anyone who loves a zesty, crunchy, and satisfying bite. Enjoy it chilled for an extra-refreshing experience!
