Asian Sesame Cucumber Salad

Ingredients:

2 long cucumbers, chilled
2 large carrots
1 tsp. salt
2 Tbsp rice vinegar
1 Tbsp fresh lime juice (about half a lime)
2-3 Tbsp honey, to taste
1 tsp. sesame oil
pinch of red pepper flakes, to taste
½-1 Tbsp toasted sesame seeds
1 scallion, sliced
2 Tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)

Instructions:

Slice the carrots and cucumber thinly.
Toss the cucumber with 1 tsp. salt. Let the cucumber drain for 15-20 minutes to remove excess water.

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, lime juice, honey, sesame oil, red pepper flakes, and sesame seeds.

Once the cucumber has drained for a bit, spread it onto a layer of paper towels, and gently pat out as much moisture as you can. Place the "noodles" into a large bowl, and add 2-3 Tbsp dressing, to coat. Toss to combine, then garnish with additional sesame seeds, sliced scallions, and fresh cilantro. Serve immediately.
