Spicy Cucumber Salad
Servings
2
Cool cucumbers meet a bright, peppery heat in this crisp, refreshing salad. The spice is clean and direct, lifted by a touch of vinegar and sesame for balance. It’s the kind of side that cuts through rich food and wakes up the palate — simple, cold, and quietly addictive.
