How to Make Spiral Cucumber Salad Recipe

---

About: 

Spiral cucumber salad is a type of cucumber salad that is made by cutting the cucumbers into thin spirals. This is done by placing the cucumber between two chopsticks and then cutting it diagonally, making sure not to cut all the way through. The cucumber is then flipped over and cut vertically, creating a spiral.

In this recipe, I marinate the spiral cucumber in a dressing made out of a mixture of sesame oil, garlic, soy sauce, rice vinegar, mirin, sugar, salt, red pepper powder, chili oil, and green onion.

This is a refreshing and healthy salad that is perfect for an appetizer,  light lunch, or snack.
