This refreshing cucumber salad is paired with a tangy sesame dressing, offering a delightful crunch and a burst of flavor.
Combine the wasabi with a small amount of warm water in a mixing bowl and let it sit for a few minutes.
Allowing the wasabi to sit enhances its flavor.
Peel the cucumbers and cut them in half lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds using a melon baller or spoon.
Removing the seeds prevents the salad from becoming watery.
Slice the cucumbers into thin crescents.
Uniform slices ensure even dressing coverage.
Mix the vinegar, sugar, sesame oil, salt, and pepper into the wasabi until smooth.
Whisking thoroughly ensures a well-blended dressing.
Add the cucumbers, green onions, and sesame seeds to the dressing and toss to combine.
Toss gently to avoid breaking the cucumber slices.
Serve the salad immediately or chill for a few minutes before serving.
Chilling enhances the flavors and provides a refreshing touch.
