About Cucumber salad with sesame seeds

Cucumber Salad with Sesame Seeds is a refreshing dish that blends simplicity with robust flavor. Traditionally found in East Asian cuisine, this salad pairs crisp, cool cucumber slices with toasted sesame seeds for added texture and nutty richness. A tangy dressing of rice vinegar, soy sauce, and a hint of sugar or honey balances the flavors, while optional additions like garlic, ginger, or chili flakes enhance its complexity. Low in calories and packed with hydrating properties, cucumbers are an excellent source of vitamins K and C. Sesame seeds provide healthy fats, calcium, and antioxidants, contributing to heart and bone health. However, the sodium content in soy sauce should be moderated for those on low-sodium diets. This versatile salad is perfect as a light side dish or snack, highlighting wholesome ingredients with a deliciously nutritious twist.
