This viral TikTok cucumber salad transforms simple cucumbers into a savory, addictive treat you can shake up in minutes. It is a quick and easy recipe with soy, sesame, and other flavorful ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound Persian cucumbers (about 4-5 small cucumbers)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Wash and pat dry the cucumbers. Trim the ends.
  2. Smash the cucumbers gently with the side of a knife or a rolling pin until they crack open.
  3. Cut the smashed cucumbers into bite-sized pieces (about 1-inch long).
  4. Place the cucumber pieces in a bowl and sprinkle with salt. Let sit for 10-15 minutes to draw out excess water.
  5. Drain the liquid from the cucumbers. You can gently squeeze them to remove more water.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, sugar, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes (if using).
  7. Pour the dressing over the cucumbers and toss to coat evenly.
  8. Transfer the salad to a jar or airtight container, if desired, for shaking.
  9. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds before serving.

Notes

  • Persian cucumbers work best for their crisp texture and minimal seeds.
  • Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to your spice preference.
  • For best flavor, let the salad marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15-30 minutes before serving.
  • This salad is best enjoyed fresh.
