Crunchy, tangy, and incredibly refreshing — this Asian Cucumber Salad is a light and zesty side that pairs perfectly with grilled meats, rice bowls, or stands alone as a crisp snack. The sesame-lime dressing gives it an addictively bright and nutty twist.
It’s quick, low-calorie, vegan-friendly, and bursting with flavour.
