Directions

  1. Prep the cucumbers: Slice mini cucumbers into rounds or bite-sized pieces. Sprinkle lightly with salt and let sit for 5 minutes.
  2. Make the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together yuzu sesame dressing, Mama’s chili oil, and everyday garlic oil until well combined.
  3. Drain the cucumbers: Gently squeeze out any excess water from the salted cucumbers to keep them extra crunchy.
  4. Toss and serve: Pour the sauce over the cucumbers. Add chopped cilantro and sliced green onions, then toss until evenly coated. Serve immediately or chill for later. Enjoy!
