Description
This is Asian cucumber salad...kinda. If you've ever wanted to recreate it at home, but somewhat bastardize it, well then you're in the right place. I've tried to keep this as "traditional" as possible while using ingredients I regularly have in my white guy kitchen, while also making it sugar free and not super oily.
