This asian ginger cucumber salad is definitely my kind of meal, full of asian spices!

Here, I combine some fresh ginger with sesame oil, miso paste and black sesame seeds and it makes this salad incredibly tasty by adding distinctive flavors.

And it’s a Thai style salad ! And it’s a 25 minutes recipe !

To make those fancy cucumber ribbons, I use a handheld spiralizer or my spiralizer LURCH (you can easily get it from Amazon). It’s worth every penny, euro, fils.

After spiralizing the cucumber for this ginger cucumber salad, you julienne the carrot and the daikon and you just have to mix all the ingredients for the dressing. Stir well and sprinkle some seeds and nori sheets on top  ! The combination of those asian spices bursts into exotic flavors.

So take your chopsticks and be ready to eat this tasty asian ginger cucumber salad !

More spiralized vegetables

I love to spiralize everything because spiralized veggies are instantly more fun to eat.

Try out my raw pad thai with more spiralized vegetables. And if you fancy a spaghetti dish made with zucchini only, head to my zucchini pesto noodles.
