Thinly sliced English cucumber and red onion are tossed in a rice wine vinegar and sesame dressing with honey and red pepper flakes, then chilled for a bright, tangy side to serve alongside seafood.

Ingredients

  • 2 English cucumbers, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
  • Salt, for drawing out cucumber liquid
  • 1/3 cup rice wine vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp sesame oil
  • 2 tsp honey (or more to taste)
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes

Directions

  1. Thinly slice cucumbers and red onion with a sharp knife or mandolin. Salt the sliced cucumbers and let them drain in a colander, then pat dry before dressing to keep the salad from watering down. 

  2. In a small bowl or cup, mix together rice wine vinegar, sesame oil, honey, and red pepper flakes. 

  3. Toss cucumbers and red onion in the dressing. 

  4. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. 

  5. Refrigerate the salad for 10 minutes to an hour. 

  6. Serve cold and enjoy!
