Eat-with-everything cucumber salad from The Cook You Want to Be: Everyday Recipes to Impress (page 136) by Andy Baraghani

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Accompaniments: Very crispy garlic-chile oil

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

  • Eat Your Books

    See recipe for a variation. Can substitute English cucumbers for Persian cucumbers, and lemon juice for rice vinegar.

    Delicious, and takes less than 5 minutes to whip up. Definitely going into the rotation for me.

    Nice and crispy. I wasn’t able to cut the spears as they look in the cookbook so I’ll have to try again. I like the comment about adding nori and want to try that!

    Very similar to other cucumber salads I make, although I like the crisp cool crunch of the salted spears. Will make again.

    I added cut pieces of nori and toasted sesame seeds, very delicious and refreshing.

    The longer they soak up the dressing the better the cucumbers taste - a quick and easy side salad.
