A delightful and easy-to-make salad featuring crisp cucumbers, zesty radishes, and a tangy sesame dressing.
Slice the cucumber into thin rounds and place them in a mixing bowl.
Using a mandoline slicer ensures even and thin slices, enhancing the salad's texture.
Thinly slice the radishes and onion, then add them to the bowl with the cucumber.
Soak the onion slices in cold water for a few minutes to reduce their sharpness if desired.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, red pepper flakes, and sugar until well combined.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning to your preference before adding it to the salad.
Pour the dressing over the vegetables and toss gently to coat evenly.
Let the salad sit for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Transfer the salad to a serving bowl and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds before serving.
For added flavor, you can also sprinkle some chopped fresh cilantro or green onions on top.
