This TikTok viral Spicy Cucumber Salad is crunchy, bright and so refreshing! It’s the perfect side dish to complement any meal and keep you cool in the hot spring and summer months.
This Spicy Cucumber Salad is a light and tasty dish that’s made with mini cucumbers cut into fun spiral shapes! They are then tossed in a simple dressing of soy sauce, garlic powder, vinegar, honey, sesame oil, and sesame seeds. The cucumbers absorb all of the flavors for the perfect fresh, zesty crunch.
Before serving, I love to garnish the salad with toasted sesame seeds and thinly sliced green onion. If you want to add a hint of spiciness, sprinkle with red pepper flakes! You’re going to love this simple, yet flavorful side dish or appetizer that’s especially perfect during warmer months.
