Cucumber Salad Tips
- I love using English cucumbers because they are less watery and don’t have a ton of seeds.
- Don’t overdo the vinegar or soy sauce. To much of one thing will make it taste too acidic or salty
- Served this dish immediately
- Don’t have spiralizer? You can still make this salad, just thinly slice the cucumber.
Do you have to use rice vinegar?
- I highly suggest you do. Rice vinegar has a mild flavor and acidity that works perfect for this dish. Other vinegar will be too strong.
If you don’t have a spiralizer you can just slice the cucumber into thin slices.
