Instructions
For spiralized cucumbers
Cut off the ends of the cucumbers and place them on a cutting board.
Place a chopstick on each side and press down gently.
Make thin, straight slices across the cucumber from one end without cutting through it.
Keep making slices until you reach the other end.
Turn it upside down, with the uncut side facing up.
Make thin slices at a 45-degree angle, again without cutting through the cucumber.
Cut it into bite-sized pieces. Put the cucumber pieces into a bowl and sprinkle 1 tablespoon of salt.
Toss well and let it sit for 15-20 minutes.
After 15-20 minutes, drain the extra juice from the cucumbers and rinse with cold water to remove the excess salt.
For Asian cucumber salad dressing
Mix 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, sesame oil, and rice wine vinegar in a separate bowl.
Add 1 teaspoon of monk fruit and 1 crushed garlic clove.
Mix well.
For the sweet and sour cucumber salad
Pour the sauce over the cucumber pieces and toss well to combine.
If desired, sprinkle sesame seeds on top of the cucumber salad for added flavor.
