Ingredients

• 2 English cucumber
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce (gluten-free or coconut aminos for stricter keto)
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon Granulated erythritol
• 1 Garlic clove, minced
• 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
• 2 Green onions, sliced
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Wash the cucumbers thoroughly. You may peel them or leave the skin on, depending on preference.

Step 2

Slice the cucumbers thinly into rounds using a sharp knife or a mandoline.

Step 3

Place the sliced cucumbers in a large bowl and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of salt. Toss to coat evenly and let sit for 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture.

Step 4

While the cucumbers are resting, prepare the dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together rice vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, granulated erythritol, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Step 5

After 10 minutes, drain the liquid from the cucumbers and gently pat them dry with a paper towel.

Step 6

Pour the prepared dressing over the cucumbers and toss to coat the slices evenly.

Step 7

Add the sliced green onions, sesame seeds, and chopped cilantro to the salad. Gently fold them into the cucumber mixture.

Step 8

Allow the salad to chill in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld together.

Step 9

Serve the Keto Asian Cucumber Salad cold and enjoy its refreshing taste.
