    Summer Asian Cucumber Salad

    Published: Jun 17, 2009 · Modified: Oct 22, 2014 by Jennifer Che

    This is a great summertime dish! If you have cucumbers on hand, you can make this dish in about 20 minutes (including marinating time). In this case, I used pickling cucumbers, but you can also use normal cucumbers. I used a recipe similar to the one posted here. The only differences this time are:

    1) I only "salted" & squeezed out the water once since pickling cucumbers have less water content than regular cucumbers

    2) I used kosher sea salt instead of soy sauce

    3) I did not have fresh garlic on hand so I used garlic powder instead

    4) I omitted the sugar

    The dish was still delicious - crunchy, refreshing, and light. All in all, it's quite flexible how you want to flavor the cucumbers.

    Experiment!
