Japanese Cucumber Salad offers a refreshing crunch that's ideal for a low-carb side dish. With just two Persian cucumbers and a few simple ingredients like soy sauce and monkfruit sweetener, this salad is perfect for meal prep or enjoying alongside grilled meats. At only 11 grams of carbs per serving, it's a wonderful way to incorporate more veggies into your meals while supporting your low-carb lifestyle. Serve it chilled for a crisp complement to your family dinner or barbecue.

Instructions

  1. In a small fry pan or pot, add sweetener and rice vinegar. Bring to a soft boil, then remove from heat when sweetener has dissolved and transfer to a mixing bowl.
  2. Add soy sauce and sesame seeds to the liquid to create a dressing. Set aside.
  3. With a vegetable peeler, peel the skin off the cucumbers every other stroke to make stripes. Pour ½ tsp salt into the palm of your hands and rub the salt onto the cucumber. Repeat with the other cucumber.
  4. Cut the cucumbers into ¼-inch slices and toss cucumbers with the dressing in a serving bowl. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve (best to serve within 30 min - 1 hour).
