Asian Cucumber Salad
Feb 22, 2025 10:14 AM
We love a good salad and this Asian cucumber salad is not only refreshing but it’s healthy too!
It starts with one of our favorite veggies – cucumbers (a PERFECT alternative to lettuce or other greens).
Cucumbers (like lettuce) don’t have much taste on their own, making them great for taking on a variety of flavor profiles. This Asian inspired salad is dressed in a light vinegar (with a touch of sweetness), and incorporates cilantro, jalapeno, and red peppers for more flavor and a bit of spice.
It’s vegan, gluten-free and a nice addition to meals and bowls you are already making. Plus, it preps in 10 minutes and chills (for the flavors to meld), giving you plenty of time to finish the main dish. It’s the perfect healthy side dish.
Ingredients:
- 3 large cucumbers, peeled, halved lengthwise, seeded, and cut into ¼-inch slices

- ½ cup red bell pepper, chopped
