This cucumber salad went viral for a good reason. Aside from one of the easiest salads you can ever make, this is not only nutritious but it’s so flavourful, it makes eating cucumbers so much fun.

This salad has a Japanese-inspired dressing, which has all the properties from nuttiness, crunchiness, and of course the umami flavours. Personally, I’ve always enjoyed eating this dish, I can actually finish the whole dish all by myself! Once you’ve tried this, you will never look at cucumbers the same way again!
