Asian Onion Cucumber Salad Recipes
ASIAN CUCUMBER SALAD
An easy Asian Cucumber Salad with vibrant, sweet and sour Sesame Garlic dressing. This salad is refreshing treat for all Cucumber Salad Lovers. Sliced cucumbers with quick mix of dressing, and it is The perfect addition to summer meal. Dressing is vinegar based and is lite without any dairy, too-much oil, or nuts. (I'm also sharing tips to make an always-crunchy-not-watery-cucumber-salad. Don't miss to read.)Today's recipe is inspired from a local Asian Dumpling restaurant. This cucumber salad is their top seller. I usually don't order simple salads for starters but a filling, layered, full-meal kinda salad is my thing. One day, Vishal insisted me to try this Cucumber Salad. I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised. Salad was two spiralized mini Asian seedless cucumbers with drizzle of sweet and sour dressing. With aroma of sesame oil, first sweet and sour flavor the taste buds, then crunchy cucumber and it finishes with a tiny bit lingering heat. I recommend three things when trying this salad:1. Don't skimp on dressing. Drizzle some on salad. Save some to use before eating.2. Keep heat low. It does not hit taste buds until bite is finished. If unsure, try dressing with a slice of cucumber to test.3. For best flavor, serve salad chilled.Always Crunchy Cucumber SaladEven an easy Cucumber Salad such as this can get tricky when cucumber starts to release water and eventually loose crunch.Fact is, vegetables like Cucumber, Summer Squash are filled with water. As soon as salt or acid comes in contact with sliced cucumber or zucchini, these release most water out. To prevent this (or more realistically minimize it), I use following methods to prepare a crunchy Cucumber Salad:1. Make Salad Just Before Serving:This is the easiest and simplest method ever. Make Salad Dressing and store in separate container. It stays good for more than 2 weeks. Slice cucumber slightly thick slices. Just before serving, drizzle dressing on top, and season with pinch of salt. Serve immediately.2. Salt Cure Cucumber (make cucumber giveaway most water):It is the most common method used to draw moisture out of vegetables. Slice the cucumber and sprinkle slightly with salt on both sides. Leave aside in strainer for 15-20 minutes. You will be amazed how much water 2 cucumbers yield in matter of 15-20 minutes. Once drained, then transfer to paper towel to soak extra moisture hanging outside completely. Or Pat dry with clean paper towel.That's it. These 20 minutes are a huge investment in making a perfect Cucumber Salad. A cucumber salad that you will not find in pool of water. This cured cucumber can be used for all kind cucumber salad. Traditional creamy, or lite such as today's recipe.Sweet and Sour Salad Dressing:A perfect Asian salad dressing is sweet, tangy and has bit of heat. You can add these three flavors with many ingredients. I used following for this recipe.For Cucumber Salad, vinegar dressing is my favorite. It keeps salad lite, tangy, and add big punch of flavor. I used Rice Vinegar (unseasoned) which is perfect for that distinct refreshing Asian flavor. Unseasoned vinegar helps control the salt of recipe. Since dressing also has soy and sambal. It is best to use unseasoned vinegar to adjust the seasoning.For sweetness, I use regular sugar. It is important to mix it well so it dissolved fully. You can also use honey, agave, palm nectar, or no-sugar sweet substitutes if you prefer.Oh, have you tried my Chinese Chicken Salad with Honey-Mustard dressing? That dressing is also sweet and sour but uses mustard and honey. Must try!Spiralized or Thin Sliced:This salad is very forgiving. Use your favorite method of slicing cucumber. I prefer to spiralize it when serving immediately. When bringing to potluck or serving later, I prefer thick sliced cucumber.If you love cucumber, this will be your favorite salad all summer long. Simple, easy yet bold pack-a-punch sweet-sour flavor.. It always makes a statement when I serve it to my guests. In-fact, recipe is so quick, I even make some for weekend grilling. I hope you will enjoy it as mush as we do.Wish you a wonderful day ahead.

- Wash and remove the dry outer leaves of the spring onions. Cut the roots off the spring onions and then cut the greens above the first split in the stalk. Cut the remaining stalks into two (about matchstick size length), then cut each stalk into quarters vertically along the stalk. This should not take more than 5 minutes. Soak the freshly cut spring onion in cold water to reduce the sharp onion taste and acidity for ten minutes or whilst you prepare the other ingredients.
- Cut off the hard green exterior of the cucumber to reveal the pale flesh. Avoiding the seeded watery interior, cut lengths of cucumber similar to the spring onion and set aside.
- Cut a very thin slice of ginger, turn and cut very thin ribbons of ginger similar in size to the cucumber and the spring onion.
- Drain the spring onions, and add the pieces of ginger and cucumber to the bowl. Cut a wedge of orange and squeeze the juice from the orange over the salad. Salt to taste. The dish is ready to serve!

- Trim ends off the cucumbers; peel cucumbers. Once peeled, thinly slice (about 1/4") the cucumbers. Place cucumber slices and chopped green onions into a container with a lid, or into a large re-sealable plastic bag.
- Measure rice vinegar, water, soy sauce, granulated sugar, salt and pepper into a small bowl. Whisk or stir well, until fully combined. Pour marinade over sliced cucumbers and green onions; gently stir until cucumbers are coated on all sides. Place a tight fitting lid on dish (or seal the bag); place in refrigerator. For BEST flavor, let cucumbers marinate in sauce for several hours to saturate with flavor (or even overnight, if you want). Stir occasionally, to ensure cucumbers remain coated with marinade.
- After marinating, they're ready to eat. Remove the cucumbers from the marinade with a slotted spoon, letting the marinade drain off the cucumbers before serving. Transfer to a serving dish. Sprinkle cucumbers with sesame seeds for optional garnish. Serve cold, and enjoy!

- Salt cucumbers: Place 1/3 of the cucumbers in a colander or fine-mesh strainer suspended inside a medium-size bowl (you need to bowl to catch the excess cucumber juice!). Season the cucumbers with 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Layer another 1/3 of the cucumbers over top and season them with 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Repeat one more time - laying down the remaining cucumbers and salting them with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Use your hands to gently toss the cucumbers to ensure they have light contact with the salt.Cover and place in the refrigerator for at least 45 minutes or up to overnight - this process will purge the cucumbers of all excess moisture which helps prevent your salad from becoming watery!NOTE: I like to season the cucumbers in three batches to ensure they all get evenly coated with the salt.
- Meanwhile, make the vinegar sauce: In a small bowl, combine the ingredients for the dressing (vinegar through honey). Whisk well and set aside.
- Dry cucumbers: When cucumbers have been drained of excess moisture, remove them from fridge and discard excess liquid. Transfer the cucumbers to a clean surface lined with paper towels, a tea towel or kitchen towel. Pat the cucumbers thoroughly dry. (I like to do this in two batches to ensure I get the cucumbers very dry!)
- Toss cucumber salad: Transfer the cucumbers to a medium sized bowl. Add the red onions, scallions and cilantro. Add 3/4 of the sauce and toss well to coat.
