A scrumptious Thai Cucumber Salad recipe made with sliced cucumbers, fresh jalapeño, cilantro, and sesame seeds, all marinated in a sweet &amp; spicy Asian vinaigrette. Cucumber salad is always a refreshing dish at picnics, poolside, and grill parties. It&#x27;s great for meal prep too!

Thai Cucumber Salad

Cucumber (thinly sliced)

Serrano Pepper (seeded and minced)

tsp Sesame Seeds (I used black sesame seeds)

Tbsp Cilantro (finely chopped)

Tbsp Avocado Oil

Tbsp Unseasoned Rice Vinegar

tsp Maple Syrup

Red Chili Pepper Flakes

Sea Salt

Black Pepper (to taste)

In a mixing bowl, combine sliced CUCUMBER, SERRANO PEPPER, SESAME SEEDS, and CILANTRO. Refrigerate in an airtight container until ready to use.

For the cucumber salad:

In a lidded jar or mixing bowl, combine OIL, RICE VINEGAR, MAPLE SYRUP, RED CHILI PEPPER FLAKES, SALT, and PEPPER; shake or whisk vigorously until well-combined; refrigerate in an airtight container until ready to use. Shake well before using.

To serve, gently toss the cucumber salad with the Asian vinaigrette; serve chilled.

For the dressing:

Asian Cucumber Salad is made with rice vinegar, sesame, ginger, garlic and soy, cool and refreshing and pairs well with many things. It's vegan and gluten-free and is a nice addition to meals and bowls you are already making!

Turkish, Persian or English cucumbers (about 5 cups sliced)

4-5 scallions, finely sliced

ginger, grated

garlic, finely minced

rice vinegar

soy sauce

maple syrup (or honey, or sugar)

chili

Using the tines of a fork, score the cucumbers lengthwise- this will help the dressing cling to the cucumber. (Feel free to skip if in a hurry.)

Slice the cucumbers thinly. Place in a bowl and toss with the salt to help them release water. Let this stand while you gather the remaining ingredients.

Strain the cucumbers, (do not rinse) place them in a large bowl and add the scallions, ginger, garlic, rice vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, maple syrup, optional red chili paste and toasted sesame seeds. Mix to combine.

Taste and adjust salt to your liking. Add more chili paste if you like.

Refrigerate until ready to serve.  This is best served the same day but will keep up to 3 days.

Mid-summer last year, I had an abundance of nice young zucchini--sliced thin, it also works well with this same dressing.   You don't have the juiciness or crispiness of the cukes, but the tender-firm texture of young raw zucchini is lovely in its own right, and it doesn't dilute the dressing.  One of my summer faves.  Thanks for this Sylvia!

This Asian Cucumber Salad is my new favorite! Used cucumbers from the garden and the flavor was outstanding. served it with your Katsu Tofu and Furikake Rice. All excellent!.

My new favorite cucumber salad recipe, even without the scallions and subbing 1/2 tsp ground ginger because I was in a hurry. Thanks!

We have been making this Asian Cucumber Salad every week since you posted. It’s simply the best!

Another hit!  I used garden cukes because I have like 400 of them, opted in for sambal olek, and I also folded in some perfectly ripe avocado because that’s what one does with perfect avocado.  Then I ate the whole thing by myself.

Made this today - delicious! Would love to can - have you tried canning them?

This smashed cucumber salad is similar to pai huang gua, a Chinese cucumber salad featuring a garlicky sesame-soy-vinegar dressing and chili crisp and/or chili oil topping.

Our inspired version is naturally sweetened with maple syrup, swaps the chili oil for chili flakes, and also draws influence from Japanese cuisine with the inclusion of pickled ginger for a sweet, tangy addition.
