This Cool Asian Cucumber Salad is something I know I can make on a work day when I have no time but need a quick lunch, I’m always looking to incorporate more vegetables into my meals so I will throw this together along with a light sandwich and voila, I’m eating in 10 minutes.
To add some zip to this little unsuspecting salad add a little of this chili oil or something similar.
This dish would be great served with the Grilled Chicken and Vegetables.
