A refreshing and tangy cucumber salad with a spicy kick, perfect for any occasion.
Peel the cucumbers and slice them in half lengthwise.
Use a sharp knife for clean cuts and to avoid bruising the cucumbers.
Scoop out the seeds using a spoon, then slice the cucumbers into bite-sized pieces.
Removing the seeds prevents the salad from becoming too watery.
In a mixing bowl, combine the sambal oelek, brown sugar, lime juice, salt, and white pepper.
Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved for a smooth dressing.
Add the cucumber slices and chopped green onion to the bowl and toss to coat evenly with the dressing.
Ensure all cucumber pieces are well coated for maximum flavor.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the salad for at least an hour to let the flavors meld.
Chilling enhances the flavor and makes the salad more refreshing.
Taste the salad and adjust the seasoning if needed before serving.
Add more lime juice or sambal oelek to suit your taste preferences.
