Ingredients

  • 1 large cucumber
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar or lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon sugar (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes or black pepper (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill or cilantro (optional)

Instructions

  1. Wash the cucumber thoroughly and slice into thin rounds or sticks, depending on preference.
  2. In a bowl, mix rice vinegar (or lemon juice), salt, and sugar until the sugar dissolves completely.
  3. Toss cucumber slices in the vinegar mixture, ensuring each piece is well coated.
  4. Sprinkle chili flakes or freshly cracked black pepper if desired for a little heat.
  5. Add fresh herbs like dill or cilantro, and gently mix again.
  6. Let cucumbers sit for about 10 minutes to soak in the flavors, then serve chilled.

Notes

  • Best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
  • Optional additions include thinly sliced red onions, radishes, Greek yogurt, or toasted sesame seeds.
  • For an Asian twist, add a drizzle of soy sauce or fish sauce.
  • Using English cucumber gives a milder taste and softer texture.
  • Great for low-carb or keto diets due to low carbs and calories.
